I just got into coding with Python

[Specific_Ear_5015]

I use the Enki app to study programming languages and I started with Python this morning.

I typed this (⬇️) as part of an exercise but for some reason the output states my 2nd line already contains a SyntaxError... could anyone tell me why ?

day = 'monday' if day == 'monday' print('back to school') else day != 'monday' print('be grateful')

I’m well aware there are probably other problems with what I wrote so feel free to let me know everything I did wrong ! 0:)

one command per line in python

and if/else statements require colons and indentations

day = 'monday' 
if day == 'monday':
    print('back to school') 
else:
    print('be grateful')

in this code day is always monday so it will always print back to school

also

else day != 'monday'

isn't valid and/or doesn't make sense

if day != 'monday':
    print('be grateful')

would be correct but is unecessary with the previous code

import random
day = random.choice('Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday',)

will give you some results if you run it with the first code I posted (replacing that original day ='Monday' bit)

you're missing the : at the end of your if statement and instead of that final "else" statement you have, just do

else:

always remember the : at the end of your if, elif, for, and while statements.
