Why do I have a syntax error on my print function?

Question

I'm trying to learn to program and I've gotten stuck on this piece of code

if 0 <= option < len(names)
    print names[option]
elif option == 99:
    quit
else:
    print "That is not a valid option!"

When trying to run the program I get a syntax error on the first print command, and I've searched for it for like an hour or two now but I just don't see what's wrong? Please help me.

Hour or two... Now you are just blatantly lying, aren't you? — Igor Pejic

I've added the : after the first if statement and now it gives me a syntax error on that line of code? if 0 <= option < len(names): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax — pokemonfan
