Invalid Syntax Error for an If Statement in a Function

[Clabbage]

For some odd reason my code was all working fine until I made a few changes which broke almost everything in the function. I've since removed said changes but it's still broken. It's saying the colon in this section is Invalid Syntax. In fact it's saying the same for every if statement as well as some of the comparison operators.

if difficulty == "e":
  number_enemies -= 1

Hi, can you post all your code?

[Clabbage]

The whole function is quite long, but sure. It's supposed to create the enemies in a text game I'm working on.

Thanks! I managed to run the code after a few changes. I saved it in txt because I couldn't upload it here in .py format. I began selecting all text and then pressing shift + tab twice; then, there was also a missing parentheses at the end of 11. This file, in .py format, ran ok. Sometimes, the error can be in a line other than the one indicated. Please let me know if you have any doubts. By the way, I changed the file encoding to UTF-8 due to an error that I got in here, but it may have been unnecessary. Please let me know if you still have any problems.

Maybe the only change you need to make is to add the missing parenthesis to your code.

[Clabbage]

That missing parentheses... I put it there and suddenly everything works perfectly. Thank you so much!

You're welcome!
