That's the generic c style syntax. For python its a little different. if condition : statements elif condition : statements else : statements I'm a little rusty in python. 😅

This will give you indentation error. The correct way to write code in python is below. x=4 if x==5: print("yes") else: print("no")

This is Python language. You have to understand that indentation its FUNDAMENTAL in Python.... You have to add indentation to if/else statements: x=4 if x==5: print("yes") else: print("no")

I dont want be rude and im sorry if its seemed in this way, but you have to understand that you cannot open a new thread for a very basic concept like this that you find in EVERY Python tutorial.... Your question its "How do i use the else statement" and we are ended in an indentation error (that Python have sure notified you about)... If everyone make post for this VERY basic topics, this service would be full of unuseful questions and many users will not responde. I repeat. Read you learn resource and if you dont understand a concept, ask (posting an example code also) but remember: programming is not only about code, you MUST have curiosity, willingness to learn and try to figure out for yourself as long as you can
