Answer 1

There are several things wrong with your code.

(line 1) your variables can't start with a period, try removing that first.

(line 5) Your "if" statement is trying to compare your input from line 3 (inputs are always strings before you convert them), with another string "500" (because it is surrounded by quotes), using a mathematical operator. Try converting your number using int(num), and removing the quotes around "500" in order to turn it into a number. Finally, your if statement is missing a colon (:) at the end of that line.

(lines 5,6)
Finally, your "if" statement is missing a followup statement. Try to think of if statements as a sentence.

"If it is raining:
I bring an umbrella
print("I took a nice walk today.")"

A lot of people refer to if statements as "If, then" statements, because they always have followups.

Good luck with your code!
