​

a) Have you got brackets around your text (strings) e.g  you need... ("around string")

b) Have you got speech marks around your text (strings) e.g  you need... ("around string")

c) Have you spelt your variables correct e.g you set a variable called num  and then later add the wrongly spelt the variable name later to the code..... print ("this is your number",nuum)

d) Have you added a  :    after a line of code that start with an if, elif, else, while statement?
