- The indentation is incorrect at line 1 - input() returns a string (str for short) which you can't compare correctly numbers with so turn that into an int however if the user inputs anything other than a number it will throw an error - = operator is used for assigning values/objects use == to compare 2 values e.g. 2 == 3, 6 == 6, 9.8 == 9.9 x = int(input("Enter a number: ")) if x == 1: print("One") else: print("False")

I think because your asigning x as a string, then you comparing it as a int
