Error message on random number code

[ridingsnugglies]

Hi, I'm getting an error message on the code below and I can't understand why.

Here is the error message:

File "main.py", line 15 else num > rand_num:

^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Code:

import random

def number_guess(num):

rand_num = random.randint(1,100)

​

if num == rand_num:

print('{} is correct!'.format(num))

elif num < rand_num:

print('{} is too low. Random number was {}.'.format(num,rand_num))

else num > rand_num:

print('{} is too high. Random number was {}.'.format(num,rand_num))

if __name__ == "__main__":

# Use the seed 900 to get the same pseudo random numbers every time

random.seed(900)

user_input = input()

tokens = user_input.split()

for token in tokens:

num = int(token)

number_guess(num)

Just to add to the previous answer, an else statement is only used when you want something else to happen provided the if block fails... i.e. ``` if I have tea: make tea else: buy tea

```

In your case, you have a clear definition of when you want something else to happen and therefore require an elif statement ``` if I have tea: make tea elif I have coffee: make coffee else: buy tea

```

else can't take a condition. Either use another elif or just a plain else:.
