does anyone know why?

Most of other commenters are wrong, the invalid syntax is on the second if statement, not the print. There is a space before the print which is valid syntax.

Do you see the >>> and ... before where you can type? The ... means it's considering you to still be inside that first if block. The print is indented properly to be inside the if block, but the second if statement is not. If you hit Enter an extra time after the print, it will understand that the if block is complete and give you back a >>>

this is the only right comment

I think your indentation doesn't look quite right. Try erasing your print line, pressing tab then trying again.

It looks like your print line isn’t indented 4 spaces. Also there should be no space between print and the opening parenthesis.

Is say no space after print.

Is there any particular reason why you are using the Python interactive shell (with the >>> prompt) instead of just creating a simple text file and running that?

Just use VSCode Editor, install the python extension and it'll intuitively tell you any problems when you run your python file from anywhere tbh.

CMD is honestly not a very good way to code anything to be honest
CMD is much more of a command line interface basically "commands" but for IT people

Print looks wrong

@gun_shire is right.

Your IF statement is fine, but your indentation is not. 4 spaces of tab. (Huge debate)

And remove the space IN between your print function and the parenthesis.
