Can someone assist, what's wrong with this code? I'm a rookie in python

Question

dinner=input("What did you eat")
if dinner=food:
print("Keep on eating")
else:
print("The program has ended")

Answer 1

There are two things you need to fix. First, if food is a string, put it in quotes(""). Next, when making a comparison, you have to use a double equal sign. So line 2 of your program should look like this:
if dinner=="food":

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 2

if dinner == "food":

= is assignment operator
== is used to check equality

Answer 3

YOU SHOULD USE == IN THE PLACE OF =

=(is equal to) is used for assigning the values to a variable
and
== is used to compare the value of variables
