why am i getting a syntax error message where it says:

except ValueError as e:

below is the question for this python code:

Write a program to calculate how far a tennis ball will touch the ground. For example, if the ball

travels $20$ meters per minute for seven minutes, the distance travelled is $20*7=140$ metres.

Write a program that asks the user for the speed of a ball $($in meters per minute$)$ and the

number of minutes it has travelled. You should then use a while loop to display the distance

travelled for each minute. $($The distance ball travels can be calculated as follows: distance $=$

speed $*$ time$).$

Sample output:

What is the speed of the ball in $($in metres per minute$)?20$

How many minutes has it travelled? $7$

$--------------------------------------$

Hour Distance Travelled

$--------------------------------------$

$120$

$240$

$360$

$480$

$5100$

$6120$

$7140$

The above task should make an appropriate use of try$-$catch and ensures correct inputs are processed,

and incorrect inputs are handled by using exceptions.
