297 Pointserror when checking if input == "yes"
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. When I check if they want to add a name to a list I check if the answer given is yes and it gives me an invalid syntax error right at the end of the line.
sets answer input to variable answer
problematic code: if answer == "yes" (then I prompt for name input and push onto roster list) I'm getting an error at the end of "yes"
I don't know how else to check if the first question (unlisted here) is answered by "yes". (first question is whether they want to add a player to the roster).

7,934 PointsI don't see you full code, thus I'm unable to see why you are getting that error. Perhaps you have missed an ':' at the end of 'yes'.
Anyways, here is an example that works, take a look at it and compared it to your code. If you need further help, please post your full code.
Good luck.
answer = input('Would you like to add a name to the roster? ')
if answer == 'yes':
print('Adding name to roaster')
