not working when compared to string

Question

a="Mayilesh"
if a=="Mayilesh":
print("correct ")
else:
print(" wrong")
why it is not working

Answer 1

Forgot blanks between variables?

a = "sum"
if a == "sum":
print('yes')

else:
print ('no')

Tested, works

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

Thw space between the two variables.
Correct code:

a = "Mayilesh"
if a =="Mayilesh":
print("correct ")
else:
print(" wrong ")

Answer 4

u can also try to compare by using string length
so that it is easily comparable

Answer 5

Your code is correct. I don't know why you got the wrong answer. Some people are saying you need space I between the variables but you don't. Space or no space makes no difference.
I thought it may have been a playground bug but I tested it there and it worked fine.
There is nothing visibly or functionally wrong with the code you posted.

Answer 6

of course the problem is the space.

a=thing it isn't a = thing.

Answer 7

Spaces are not required. Who fed you this misinformation?

Answer 8

You need to remember that the "=" is assigning your string to a variable(in this case, it is "a"), instead of comparing the string to the left side of the "=". To compare two values or strings, you must use "==" instead of "=". Sorry if this is confusing or if I misunderstood your question.
