how to define specific user input

Question

name = input("Hello, what is your name?")
if name = "Nikolas":
print("Hello " + name)

What I want to do is that if I enter a specific name like Nikolas, for it to say "Hello Nikolas".
And if something different is entered, then there's no output.

This code gives me a SyntaxError, why?
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

= is the operator for variable assignment.
== is the operator to test for equality.

name = input("Hello, what is your name?")
if name == "Nikolas":
print("Hello " + name)
