if/else problem

Question

I started coding just a while ago and decided that experience is the best teacher but... apparently it's not.

I was creating a small, basic...bot? and it was smooth sailing until i got a problem with the if/else.

input("have you had any water? ")

if "no" :
print("thats bad! hidration is important")

else:
print("good!")

I have tried everything I know but I started coding like a week ago, so I can't do much.

Answer 1

Don't worry, just go on studying and practicing!

You are right, experience (study + practice) will get you forward, but you should rather think in months/years than in weeks. It's just not that easy.

Go on with your tutorial, practice what you learn there, do a few challenges against weaker opponents and after a while you'll see it adds up.
