Question

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can say me why this doesnt work, I have no idea:
x = 3
y = 4
print (x+y)
if ("my first Addition") ||||||| <- but there is after 'run module' a red line and invalid syntax.
I wrote it on computer with IDLE Python 3.7
Why? Whats wrong?
Sorry, Im a raw beginner with programming 😅
Many thanks for helping

Not sure what the problem seems to be, do be careful though as python is tab sensitive
x = 3
y = 4
print(x + y)
will output 7.
if it's on an if statement you're struggling do keep the syntax in mind:
if x + y == 7:
print("this is 7")
else:
print("not 7")
python uses the tabs as blocks instead of brackets or "endif" / "end".
here's an example:

hope this helps, if you got any other questions, feel free to ask.
