else statement

Question

num = input()
if num == 5:
print("Number is 5")
else:
if num == 11:
print("Number is 11")
else:
if num == 7:
print("Number is 7")
else:
print("Number isn't 5, 11 or 7")

What is wrong in this ?

Answer 1

@Dayve There is... Python takes the user input and turns into a string... He will need to change num to integer... num = int(num)

Answer 2

Nothing wrong with it! It's working correct in CP.
BTW you can use elif instead of else if.

Answer 3

The 'if num==5' statement will check if the variable num is equal to the number 5 (integer). And of course it never will, because you assigned a string to it (input by default acquires a string type).

What you need to do is to change the first line to:
num = int(input())

That shall do the trick ;)

Answer 4

But when I am giving any input its showing last satatement every time . Pls check once

Answer 5

remove else: from all except last one
