We need more detail.

How are you entering your code? Is it using a tool like
IDLE or an operating system console version of python?

Are you typing at the interactive python prompt,
usually looking like
 >>>

Please post the exact code you entered and the
full error message, do not summarize.

There is no " in the little bit code you posted.
And operand1 appears twice.
We need to see exactly what you are doing - what you
typed, and what Python told you was wrong.
