SyntaxError: invalid syntax in Python?

Question

I have recently started learning programming by watching CS50 course. I am currently on the introduction of Python. Everything was done by me in accordance to that video-course. By writing simple code I get an issue unlike my lecturer does.

Here it is:

answer = input("What's your name?")
print(f"hello, {answer}")

Issue I have got:

File "hi.py", line 2
    print(f"hello, {answer}")
                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I would be sincerely grateful for your answer!

What version of Python are you using? It's probably a version that predates f-strings, which were introduced in Python 3.6 if memory serves. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Apr 24 '22 at 18:48
Python 2 has been end-of-life for over two years. I strongly suggest you install Python 3. The current release is Python 3.10. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Apr 24 '22 at 18:51

hello you can't use the print function in the Variable so the right way to write this is

answer = input("What's your name?") 
print(f"hello, {answer}")

...isn't this exactly the same code as in the question? – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 24 '22 at 18:58
I have just copied, inserted the code suggested and it still does not work. So I am up to download the newer version of Python. – Nazar Apr 24 '22 at 19:01
