I’m not sure what’s wrong with my code. My calendar isn’t working and the terminal states that this line elif user_choice == “D”: has a syntax error.
This is my code below and this is the link to the exercise https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-python/projects/calendar
"""The programme will create a basic calendar that allows the user to view the calendar, add an event, update or delete an existing event."""
