I learning python. And every time I use "elif" I get an error. Please help me. I struct here!

number = 23

guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))

if guess == number:

    print "Congradulations, you guessed it."

    print "(but you do not win any prizes!)"

    elif guess < number:

    print "Try higher number"

    else:

        print "Done"

    

C:\Python26>python mygirl.py

  File "mygirl.py", line 6

    elif guess < number:

       ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The 'elif' and 'else' statement should be on the same block level as the beginning 'if' statement. If you highlight the 'elif' and 'else' lines, and then choose 'Format' and 'Dedent Region' in IDLE that should fix your code with minimal mouse clicks.

Hope this helps.

No, Then I get this error.

C:\Python26>python mygirl.py
  File "mygirl.py", line 4
    print "Congradulations, you guessed it."
        ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

number = 23
guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))
if guess == number:
    print "Congradulations, you guessed it."
    print "(but you do not win any prizes!)"
elif guess < number:
    print "Try higher number"
else:
    print "Done"

Worked for me.

Because of you guide, I found the error.

highlight the 'elif' and 'else' lines, and then choose 'Format' and 'Dedent Region' in IDLE that should fix your code with minimal mouse clicks.


That is the method! Thanks! else and elif do not need indentions.

number = 23
guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))
if guess == number:
    print "Congradulations, you guessed it."
    print "(but you do not win any prizes!)"
elif guess < number:
    print "Try higher number"
else:
        print "Done"
