You aren't very far off. You are going to need to use 'if' and '<' or
'>' to check for range though.
As in:
if x > 10:
print "x is greater than 10"
OR:
if 10 < x < 20:
print "x is between 10 and 20"
If you describe exactly what it is that you don't understand, people
here will be willing to help you to understand it. However, you will
find that people here are very unwilling to do your homework for you.
