44,806 PointsWhitespace matters in Python. The elif
and else
statements should be at the same indentation level as the if
statement.
if first_name == "Eurie":
print(first_name, "is learning python")
elif first_name == "Logan":
print(first_name, "is learning with fellow students in the community! Me too!")
else:
# this is just in case we have a younger user who can;t yet ready
age = int(input("how old are you are? "))
if age <= 6:
print("Wow you're {}! If you're confident with your reading already...".format(age))
print("you should totally learn python, {}!".format(first_name))
print("Have a great day {}!".format(first_name))
