"SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg" when trying to print values of variables in a Label

I was just trying to print the values of variables in a Label declaration as given below

c = Label(root, text="Enter The Number Of Fruits In Basket%d Of Type%d\n"%j,i)

but I am getting the below error

SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg

Am I missing anything, or declaring any arg wrongly?

Because you haven't used brackets around j, i for the format string, Python thinks that i is a variable being passed to the Label() function as the 3 argument, instead of the format string. And since you've put text= (as a named argument) already, then all subsequent args also have to be named.

Add the brackets around j, i and then it should be okay:

c = Label(root, text="Enter The Number Of Fruits In Basket%d Of Type%d\n" % (j, i))
