Problems for a beginner

[SpennH]

I have had some basic knowledge of java through flash 8. I also use a freeware 3d software called blender. And it uses python for its game engine. So I have decided to pick up some python. This is some of my first experiences with it. So any help needs to be put in as basic of a way as possible. I believe everything is right, but when I try to run it, it says that there are problems with the tabs, and selects:
"elif x == 14:"
I don't know much about python, but I feel taht this is incorrect. I also have a problem if I take out all of the tabs, the message goes away, but a new one pops up!:
"Token Error: EOF in multi-line statement"
and then it adds a blank line at the bottom and highlights it. Please I would like to solve this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
BTW-This is my second day messing around with python. Don't eat me alive. And I'm sure there are some easier ways of doing things then what I have done. All I need help with is the error.

Here is the code:

Normally the menu lines up, it is not a problem.

One misstake you have made (I havent run any of the code, And i wont cuz im in a hurry).

else x == 15:

Else is not suposed to have any boolean statments. Replace it with someting like this:

[code=python]
elif x == 15:
#youre code here.

else:
print "Numer %d not in range." % x[/code]

[jlm699]

Make Smygis' suggested change and then there is a syntax error on line 153 where it reads: a = ((b1+b2)*h)/2)
There is an extra closing parenthesis so you should either remove it or add an extra opening parenthesis where appropriate

Thanks guys, it worked perfect. The only thing I would like to add now it to repeat the question for what number on the menu, but I don't want to repeat all of the code. I read a little bit about loops, but I am not sure how to make it. Like right before x is defined so when the first math function is made, it will ask again if you want to use another function. Then repeating all of the code without typing it out again. How is this possible?

Something like this:
[code=Python]
while True:
print "Formulas"
print "--------------------------------------------"
............... .....
print " | 16.Exit |
print "--------------------------------------------"

x = int(raw_input(" What formula would you like to use? "))

if x == 1:
.......
if x == 16:
break[/code]I suggest using raw_input, which always returns a string. If you create a function for your code, you can substitute return for break.

Thanks, it worked perfectly!
