Python: Syntax Error in if statement

[imaginaryfruit]

Hello,

I'm trying to run the following code



def inv(p):
inverses = []
for a in range(p - 1):
inverses.append(0)
for b in range (p - 1):
c = (((b+1)*(a+1)) % p
if c == 1:
inverses[a] = b
break
return inverses

print inv(5)
and I'm getting



if c == 1 :
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Can anyone explain why? I'm new to Python and don't see the difference between my if statement and the examples I've seen online.

Thanks!

there is a closing parentheses missing in the line above the if

these kind of errors usually give error messages on wrong lines, so always check for this when you can't see anything wrong on the line the compiler/interpreter indicates

Ahh -- of course! Thanks very much!
