What is wrong with this code? It gives me this error:

"Unhandled Exception: name 'raw_input' is not defined"

I don't know where I am going wrong:

def say_hello(nam): 
    nam = raw_input("What is your name? ") 
    if nam != "": 
        return("Hello," + nam + "!" ) 
    else: 
        return("Hello there!")

You are using Python 3. Use `input` instead. – DeepSpace Jul 18 '17 at 12:46
What python version are you running – Professor_Joykill Jul 18 '17 at 12:46
If you are running this with Python 3, you should get a `NameError` exception since `raw_input` exists in Python 2. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Jul 18 '17 at 12:46
what's wrong is that you're probably using python 3 – Jean-François Fabre Jul 18 '17 at 12:46

@Jean-FrançoisFabre Nothing is wrong with using Python 3. What is wrong is using Python 3 and thinking you are using Python 2 ;) – DeepSpace Jul 18 '17 at 12:47

`return` doesn't need parentheses, by the way – OneCricketeer Jul 18 '17 at 12:48

@DeepSpace or perl while you're at it :) – Jean-François Fabre Jul 18 '17 at 12:48
