Not for me it didn't, it gave an error. Please always post exactly what the program produces don't try to summarize. In this case there are several potential errors but the first thing to fix are the colons after the print statements. You only need colons on the end of control statements such as for, while, if/else etc. The second thing that I see is that although (I assume) you only want the 'your choice' to print if the user selects something other than boy/girl it will print even for boy. That's because the boy section is in a separate if statement. Like this simplified snippet: if boy: print.... if girl: print... else: print... But I think you wanted if boy: print... elif girl: print ... else: print... Can you see the difference in logic?
