Why does it not work?

Question

Input (“five plus five is:”)
If input == ten:
Print (“Correct!”)

Why does it not work in Python? Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to storage the input() value in a variable, then you have to call that variable

a = input("five plus five is:")
if a == "ten":
print("Correct!")

Answer 2

Here are a few points:

1. Python is case sensitive and doesn't recognize 'Input'. Always use 'input'.

2. Same with 'Print'. Always use 'print'. Also 'If'. Always use 'if'.

3. The result of input() is always a string and can only be compared with another string, so you should compare it with "ten" as @Sebastian said, not ten.

4. input() is a function, but input is just a word - always use input with parentheses, i.e. input().

5. You can either store the string value of the user's input (if you plan to use it again) in a variable as @Sebastian suggested, or, if it's going to be a one time use, you can shorten your code to:

if input("five plus five is:") == "ten":
print("Correct!")
