Answer 1

Nimcan I suggest going through the Python course one lesson at a time and you will surely learn how to write code that works.

In your code (it's a good first try!):
The first 'if' statement
- doesn't need parentheses
- shouldn't have quotes around the expression
- must have a colon at the end
The first print() function
- must be indented
The second 'if' statement
- doesn't need parentheses
- shouldn't have quotes around the expression
- must have a colon at the end
- is actually unnecessary
The second print() function
- must be indented
- makes you wonder if crude language is really necessary....

This works:

age = 14
if age >= 15:
print("old")
else:
print("yikes")

Next time you need help with your code, I suggest saving it in the Code Playground and then sharing a link here so we can try it out to see the error messages.

Keep on coding! 😎

Don't put the age>=15 and the age<=14 in quotation marks, as it is not supposed to be a string, or is it?
