I'm interpreting a little program were you can talk to the computer(I get lonely... JK). Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code?

What specific problems or errors are you encountering?

In general, it is best to post your code like this: -->

That way, we too can run it and find out what's wrong.

It looks to me like your problem is here:

Response = input()
Response = raw_input

Firstly, raw_input() is a function and needs parentheses like I just showed. Secondly, do you really need input() and raw_input()? Pick one. If you are using Python 3, input() is the valid one. In Python 2, raw_input takes in a raw String and input() takes in a valid python expression. Use raw_input() if in doubt on Python 2

Ohhh soryy I'll do that.

import random

print 'Hello! What is your name?'
myName = raw_input

print 'Hello' + myName + 'How are you doing?'
Response = input()
Response = raw_input

if Response is Good:
    print 'Thats great!'
if Response is Bad:
    print 'Im sorry to hear that.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

This is what happens when I try to run the program:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>> 
Hello! What is your name?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/talktoyourcomp.py", line 6, in <module>
    print 'Hello' + myName + 'How are you doing?'
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'builtin_function_or_method' objects
>>>

import random

print('Hello! What is your name?')

print('Hello ' + raw_input() + ', How are you doing?')

Response = raw_input().lower()
if Response == 'good':
    print('Thats great!')
if Response == 'bad':
    print('Im sorry to hear that.')

Fixed it to work, can't really go in depth in explanations atm, but if you have questions just post them and I'll check em when I get back on.


What I did

• Changed is to ==(eqaulto)
  
• Changed myName to raw_input(), since myName is only used once, and never again at this point in time, you don't really need to save it to a variable.
  
• Added .lower() to raw_input(), this makes everything lowercase so you don't have to worry about Good, GOod, gooD, etc.
  
• Removed input()
  
• Added () to the end of raw_input
  The way I do print is 2.7 and 3.x compatible, I do it out of habit.

Ohhhh! Thanks man!
