Answer 1

Corrected code:

color = input()
if color=="red":
print("box #1")
elif color=="green":
print("box #2")
elif color=="black":
print("box #3")
else:
print("unknown")

- no need for parenteses around input
- if you want only a single condition to evaluate, use "elif" in the middle
- use consistent indentation (4 characters everywhere is usual)

Answer 2

Hello tibor Santa thank you very much for the help. And you mean four spaces for indentation correct?

Answer 3

Yes, 4 spaces.

Answer 4

Tibor Santa is right!
But you can use dictionary here instead using too many if-else condition.

color = input()
box = {
"red":"box #1",
"green":"box #2",
"black":"box #3"
}
print(box.get(color, "unknown"))
