How do I fix a Stubborn syntax error in my python project?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm working on a school project and I've almost got it done. Doing a hangman game. for the "else:" command below print (char) on line 32 I keep getting a syntax error and nothing I've tried so far fixes it and the compiler wont tell me what the problem is besides it being a syntax error
import time
Name =input("What is your name?")
print ("Hello,"+Name,"Time to play hangman")
print( "")
#wait for 1 second
time.sleep(1)
print("Start guessing...")
time.sleep(0.5)
#here we set the secret
word = "ball"
#creates an variable with an empty value
guesses = ""
#determine the number of turns
turns =10
#create a while loop
#check if the turns are more than zero
while turns > 0:
#make a counter that starts with zero
Failed =0
#for every character in secret_word
for char in word:
if char in guesses:
print (char,)
else:
print ( "_", )
failed += 1
print ("You won")
break
print()
guess = input ("guess a character:")
guesses +=guess
if guess not in word
turns -=1
print ("Wrong")
print ("You have", turns, "more guesses")
if turns ==0:
print ("You Lose the Word was",word)

elseneeds to be indented the same amount as the matchingif. The indentation for the rest of your code looks a bit off as well.

I recommend using a linter like flake8. These kinds of tools will help you find issues like this early on. You can even configure lots of code editors to run them dynamically for you. Your code has a number of similar problems.

actually now its saying "guess" is not defined. didn't I define it as input tho?
– Pazoink
Nov 16 '18 at 15:24
You defineguessin the else clause of your conditional, which means it isn't always available by the time you exit the conditional (consider if thetrueclause executes, not theelse).

You define
guess in the else clause of your conditional, which means it isn't always available by the time you exit the conditional (consider if the true clause executes, not the else).– Jonah Bishop
