If statement syntax error

Question

So my code lookes like this,
If 1 >= 1
print(1)

And i get a syntax error on line 1, with an arrow pointing to the spot directly after 1. But there is no space. And if instead of >= i have = its instead going to have a syntax pointing to the =. Why is this?

Answer 1

GachaWolf810
put a colon(':') after the if statement.

if day < 7:
...

also use == for comparison, = is for assignment.

Answer 2

GachaWolf810 regarding the error when replacing >= with just =,
That is a one of the most common errors in programming.

A single = is the assignment operator.
You wanted == which is equality comparison operator.

Answer 5

Also this code,
#use numbers 1-7 to represent days of the week
day = int(input())
if day < 7
print("Dammit! its not sunday yet >:(")
if day = 7
print("Yay! lets get ready!")
if day > 7
print("thats not a valid day of the week...")

Provides the same type of syntax error after the 7 on line 4
