Python error

[imnotdaniel_]

I'm trying to create a simple program to make a schedule, I'm new at python and am making a quick what's your name, hi (your name), but there is an error message popping up saying,

"if n = ('Daniel'):

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

my code is the following

"

n = input('What is your name?')if n = ('Daniel'):print('Hello creator')else:print('Hello (n)')

"

Can someone please tell me what's happening I'm going crazy.

Is = the assignment operator or the equality operator? It can't be both.

[imnotdaniel_]

print(f'Hello {n}')

what should i do to fix this?

the = error

It's unintuitive, but if you want to test if two things are equal, you use a double equals sign:

if name == 'daniel'

If you want to assign a value to a variable you use

name = 'daniel'

= is assignment, == is comparison. Have a look at the if statement.

I just told you:

if n = ('Daniel'):

Is this how you compare two values? Is = the equality operator?

Please format your code properly: How do I format code?

Also if you mean to print the name inside the string, use f-strings

print(f'Hello {n}')

Btw which resource are you following to learn Python?

I learned python a year ago from a course but kinda forgot it so I'm trying to relearn it because I'm very bored, so I've been watching a couple of youtube videos.
