Hello Guys, I'm just starting to learn Python yesterday. I learn Input/output in Python first. I used print() method to help print many lines as below:
name = input("Enter your name:")
print("Welcome, " + name + "to Python basic course. \n" \+
"You need to Identity first, please enter your username: \n")
username = input("")
message = "Authentication failt"
if username == "admin":
message = "Authentication OK!!!"
print(message)
I feel it's very simple but when running this code I got an error SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character.
File "main.py", line 2
print("Welcome, " + name + "to Python basic course. \n" \+
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
Not sure why and clear about it. Need someone who can help explain.
I used Python 3.9.9 and Windows 11.
Thanks for any explanation.

To break lines in Python you have to use
\not\+Please change line 2 in your code.
name = input("Enter your name:") print("Welcome, " + name + "to Python basic course. \n" \ "You need to Identity first, please enter your username: \n") username = input("") message = "Authentication failt" if username == "admin": message = "Authentication OK!!!" print(message)#Output
Enter your name: Ether Welcome, Etherto Python basic course. You need to Identity first, please enter your username: admin Authentication OK!!!
