else statement

num = input() if num == 5: print("Number is 5") else: if num == 11: print("Number is 11") else: if num == 7: print("Number is 7") else: print("Number isn't 5, 11 or 7") What is wrong in this ?

@Dayve There is... Python takes the user input and turns into a string... He will need to change num to integer... num = int(num)

Nothing wrong with it! It's working correct in CP. BTW you can use elif instead of else if.

The 'if num==5' statement will check if the variable num is equal to the number 5 (integer). And of course it never will, because you assigned a string to it (input by default acquires a string type). What you need to do is to change the first line to: num = int(input()) That shall do the trick ;)
