SyntaxError: invalid syntax
When I run this in python IDLE it prints the output, but when I run this program through windows powershell it gives me syntax error. Why does this happen?

What python version is IDLE and powershell using? To me it seems a diffirence between python2 and python3 at first glance – Melon Aug 01 '17 at 05:59

for IDLE it's 2.7.11 and for powershell it's 5.1.14393.1359 – Pruthvish Aug 01 '17 at 06:05

There is no Python 5.1 so far. I guess that is the Powershell version. – Klaus D. Aug 01 '17 at 06:06

Maybe running `python --version` in Powershell will give the Python version? – JohanL Aug 01 '17 at 06:08

To make the code run, just add parentheses: ```( "Hello %s !!!" %("Pruthvish")``` – perigon Aug 01 '17 at 06:09

Lukasz Rogalski thanks you are right I have both python 3 and python 2.7 that's why duplication occurs. – Pruthvish Aug 01 '17 at 06:17
