i keep getting this error:

Cell #UNQ_C2. Can't compile the student's code. Error: SyntaxError("unmatched ')'", ('/tmp/student_solution_cells/cell_16.py', 39, 5, '    )'))

SyntaxError: unmatched ')'

it says there is an unmatched “)” in the code, but the code works perfectly fine

hi @rovshan99

in one of the syntax you wrote, it seems you have closed them 'syntax" with unmatched apostrophe or quotation marks, so look upon where this error has happened or check if you forgot to close a bracket ) ?

The evidence is pretty clear that there is a syntax error in your notebook. If you are sure things run correctly when you run the notebook, then there are two theories:

  1. The error is somehow conditional and does not get triggered by the test cases in the notebook.
  2. You didn’t click “Save” before you submitted to the grader and the grader is seeing an older version of the notebook that has a bug in it that you have already fixed.

My guess is that 2) is the more likely scenario.

BTW you filed this under DLS C4 Convolutional Networks, but I do not recognize the pathnames shown in the exception trace above. Are you perhaps taking one of the TF courses?

Also, verify that you have not changed the notebook file name.
