Not if your mail tool doesn't display images. This is a text based list so your code is invisible... But on another mail reader You have semi colons which are not needed in Python You have curly braces which are not needed in Python You have no quotes around your string (stephen) which are needed You have no colons after the if or else statements, which are needed. You need to go back to your tutorial and read it more carefully. And remember that Python is not C/C++/Java/JavaScript/Perl or PHP...

Stephen (without quotes) is an object, which you haven't previously defined. 'Stephen' is a string, which can be compared to person. Which version of Python are you using? If it's 2.x, PLEASE don't use input() - use raw_input() instead. In 3.x, input() does what raw_input() used to, so it's cool. Finally, you're likely to catch some grief for posting your code as a picture; in future, post code as plain text. (Sure, we won't see the nifty syntax highlighting, but that's OK!) Every single post to this list that's anything but plain text generates at least one complaint; it significantly lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
