Python 3: Len's Slices - Tuple Step 7: Tuple Error

[rileyhebert560564618]

Your code below:

toppings = [“pepperoni”, “pineapple”, “cheese”, “sausage”, “olives”, “anchovies”, “mushrooms”]

prices = [2, 6, 1, 3, 2, 7, 2]

num_two_dollar_slices = prices.count(2)
num_pizzas = len(toppings)

print = ("We sell “, num_pizzas, " different kinds of pizza!”)

pizza_and_prices = [[2, “pepperoni”], [6, “pineapple”], [1, “cheese”], [3, “sausage”], [2, “olives”], [7, “anchovies”], [2, “mushrooms”]]

print(pizza_and_prices)

This is the code that I have written so far. Step 7 asks that pizza_and_prices be printed out. Running the above code throws a TypeError: ‘tuple’ object is not callable. Any advice because this is driving me crazy.

This isn’t right.
print = ("We sell “, num_pizzas, " different kinds of pizza!”)

Because of the = , the above is interpreted as assigning a tuple to print. In Python 2, print was a reserved keyword, so the above statement would have caused an error. But in Python 3, print is no longer a reserved keyword and is instead a built-in function.
Since print isn’t reserved, your statement assigns a tuple to print.
Later when you try to make the call
print(pizza_and_prices)
you get the error: TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

Oh my gosh…I didn’t even notice that I had set up the print statement like that. Taking it out fixed the error. Thank you!
