Could you tell me how to fix this, because I can’t find any answers on the web and I’m not sure if I can go any further in my learning without being able to get long underscores.

The "__" is 2 underscores; it's just that they usually appear joined 
together in many fonts.

If you try:

      print('_' * 2)

do they appear joined together or separate? If they appear separate, 
then you can see that that's just how they're displayed in that funt.
