for loop : I am using jupyter to solve problem 1 on for loop i received syntax error message below #columns: Nam

columns: Name, Day/month, celebrates, Age

BIRTHDAYS = ( ("James", "9/8", True, 9), ("Shawana", "12/6", True, 22) ("Amaya", "28/2", False, 8) ("Kamal", "29/4", True, 19) ("Sam","16/7", False, 22) ("Xan", "14/3", False, 34)

loop through all of the people in BIRTHDAYS

If they celebrate their birdays, print out

"Happy Birthday" and their name

print("Celebrations:")

File "<ipython-input-2-07c9ab09ba62>", line 12 print("Celebrations:") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

InΒ [4]:

for person in BIRDAYS: if person [2] print("Happy Birthday, {}".format(person[0]))

File "<ipython-input-4-c68a16699937>", line 2 if person [2] ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is it because you have a space in:

person [2]

Instead of:

person[2]

?

if person [2] should be if person [2]: with a : at the end.
