Syntax error EOL while scanning single-quoted string’

The Error stated, the EOL or End of Line, is triggered by undetermined ending tag. For example, a “(” ends with an “)”, and also for strings the whole sentence should be in between two quotation marks ( ” or ‘ ) at the beginning and end.

The wrong part is only a simple end quotation for your print function. Here:

Rather than:

print “Here are the ten numbers from 0 to 9

It should be:

print “Here are the ten numbers from 0 to 9”

There you go! A simple semantic error causing great problems(?).

Check the other parts of your code for similar errors.
