Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I learn how to define and call a function, I created a function to help validate age, print validates age if age between 20 and 60. Like this:
def valid_age(x):
if x in range(20, 60):
print("%s is valid age." % str(x))
else :
print("Your age is invalid.")
valid_age（5）
But I get an exception throw SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier;
File "main.py", line 7
valid_age（5）
^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
I feel have some problems when I call valid_age method, but I don't know how to resolve it.
I am using python 3.9
Anyone can explain it to me? And how can I solve it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Have 2 answer(s) found.

I think you copy code from another website or your keyboard input has a problem. You can remove the line code error( line 7) and re-type it. It will work for you.
def valid_age(x): if x in range(20, 60): print("%s is valid age." % str(x)) else : print("Your age is invalid.") valid_age(20)It's sure works correctly for you.

I try to copy your code and run and I got the same error. I try remote
valid_age（5）line and re-type it tovalid_age(5)and it worked for me.
