Hi Devarsi Majumder‌,

Two questions:

1. You indicate that you are having 'some issues' with the Python script above, and you ask for help. Can you please indicate what the issues are? What error messages do you get? We might be able to help if you indicate where things go wrong...
2. Can you please modify the question to mark your script as Python code (there is an option to do so under the three dots), as this will provide syntax highlighting and render the script more readable.

Thanks in advance,

Egge-Jan

where do i change  under the three dots  not sure where you are saying to change it also  the   error message that i get is  saying that  my  city.lyr is not defined  when i have  it clearly defined above  thanks

[Egge-Jan_Pollé]

About marking the syntax highlighting:

• edit your answer and select the python code
• use the option below to mark the syntax - sorry, my UI is in Dutch. in English it will read something like 'Mark syntax', I suppose.

i marked the  lines that are in question in bold. it says im missing parentheses syntax is wrong.

In your script editor, what line is causing the error?  

Syntax highlighting won't help if there is an error in the code.  Post the error message

[DanPatterson_Retired]

Is this in ArcGIS Pro and for python 3?

If so, print statements now go in brackets

print "hello"  # old 2.7

print("hello") # new python 3.*

Code formatting will also provide line numbers
