Error

[ghost]

Hello,

I am trying to run this python code but I am receiving an error in the following line of code

print "Starting gradient descent at b = {0}, m = {1}, error = {2}".format(initial_b, initial_m, compute_error_for_line_given_points(initial_b, initial_m, points))

Hi @Mayssa-1195, what version of Python are you using? What is the error?

I am using Python version 3.8.3. This is the error:

File "gradient_descent_example.py", line 39
print "Starting gradient descent at b = {0}, m = {1}, error = {2}".format(initial_b, initial_m, compute_error_for_line_given_points(initial_b, initial_m, points))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Some of the code doesn't work in Python 3. If you change the print statements to function calls, like

print("Starting gradient descent at b = {0}, m = {1}, error = {2}".format(initial_b, initial_m, compute_error_for_line_given_points(initial_b, initial_m, points)))

That may be enough to get things working.

@mattnedrich Okay Thank you ! I will try it
