Question

it appears that my elif statement has an indent problem but my IDLE tells me syntax. suggestions?

Answer 1

I found that it was an indenting issue.

Answer 2

Any time you are using an if/else statement, the following line must be indented.

if x == 3:
print('correct')
elif x == 5:
print('also correct')
else:
print('still correct')

Answer 3

not only for elif even for if u have a indent issue. and be careful with statements after elif , as even absence of statements brings out error.

Answer 4

that is what i found. thank you for your input.

Answer 5

after you write what you wanna print. it doesn't start a new line, so u have to press left arrow to start from the beginning of the line.
if num == 5:
print("number is 5")
else: <-------beginning of a new line
