I don't understand why is it an syntax error when I type the following else: can someone explain to me please.

Answer 1

if you tried to write else: WITHOUT an if: or for: or while: it would give a syntax error

if:
code-block-1
else:
code-block-2

is correct
but,

else:
code-block

is wrong because there is no if statement prior to this

however if you had a different problem please post your code

Answer 2

thank you for the help Sunera
