How to fix python error: unindent doesn't match any outer indentation level.

I am trying to write the code for else statements on my pc but every time I get to the else statement an error appears saying that unindent doesn't match any indentation level. What am I doing wrong?

It works here fine. I think you have not provided the else statement after indent. https://code.sololearn.com/c2jPYFyF2KpI/?ref=app

The Python Is 32 bits I think you are using Python IDLE Go to setting -> System-> About -> System Type And see the operating system processor PyCharm -> Most recommend python IDE You can download the Community Edition (free) or professional edition (paid) If you are a student go to https://www.jetbrains.com/student/ For getting the professional edition for free

Make sure you don't confuse _tab_ and _spaces_ for _indents_. The SL Playground may mess this up if you copy+paste to/from outside programs!

Maybe it _looked_ indented correctly on the Playground but the formatting got messed when you pasted it (I'm obviously talking more complex code). It's easy to miss something while debugging.

Rohan Karan It works just fine on Sololearn code playground but the same code brings an error on the software.. I guess there are certain rules to the software that i don't know about.. But thanks a lot 😊
