1- Don't forget indentation. 2- you must add if statement then else.. But you added 2 if statements, you should have used (elif) .. 3- here is an example that works for your idea : if ((1+1==2) and (2*2==8)) : print ("if") else: print ("else")

I tried the code then after running into the syntax problem a couple hundred times I found out that after pressing enter for print("if") we tend to directly put else: we press enter and that's the problem. Doing this you directly correlate else with print this is wrong. Too overcome this press backspace behind else: then press enter.
