Why does this always say syntax error

Question

The code im using is pyhton
l = b
i = input ("whats letter does my name start with?")
if i == l
print("yes correct!")
else:
print("no brayden starts with a b!")

Answer 1

Depends of what the l variable should have in value.

If it's a string, just add "b".
If not, create a variable called b or functions, objects etc.

Answer 2

First, in "l = b" the b is not defined, you need to define b before using it.

And an error in the if statement, : is missing after l.

Answer 3

l = 'b' #put character in single quote, otherwise it is regarded as an unkwon variable

if i == l: # colon was missing

Additional remark: do not use l as variable name, since in some fonts it looks the same as I (big i)

Answer 4

How do you define? Im noob
