What does “SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'” mean in Python?

Question

When I try to use a print statement in Python, it gives me this error:

>>> print \"Hello, World!\"
  File \"\", line 1
            


        

Answer 1

There is a change in syntax from Python 2 to Python 3. In Python 2,

print "Hello, World!" 

will work but in Python 3, use parentheses as

print("Hello, World!")

This is equivalent syntax to Scala and near to Java.
