name = input("hi. what's name? ")  print("name")  print("hi,", name)  input("\n\npress enter key exit.")  

it says multiple statements found while compiling single statement

i'm using book , tried many different things. also, i'm noob @ can tell. if have suggestions that'll great

your code fine, assuming using python 3, need type (or paste) each line, 1 @ time. based on seeing, suspect putting in @ once, without new line after each line.

if using python 2, you'll need use raw_input rather input, this:

name = raw_input("hi. what's name? ")  print("name")  print("hi,", name)  input("\n\npress enter key exit.")
