Invalid Syntax

Question

I'm getting an "Invalid Syntax" message when I try to run the very first program (Hello world!).
Thought maybe I had gotten spacing wrong or something, but I literally copied and pasted the program exactly as was written in the instructions, and I get the same message.
This is not a good start for me.
Edit: I've found the problem. The code playground gives an error message if you include the >>> symbols. Why is this? The instructions seem pretty clear that they are to be in there.

Answer 1

hello David Hogan can you provide source code please

Answer 2

If you get a syntax error you always get the cause for this error. Please also try to understand the error messages instead of just seeing "error" and run it again. They ought to be useful.
