You've forgotten the commas inside the "print" function: x=6 y=2 if x > y: print (x," is greater than ",y) else: print(x," is not greater than ",y) print("Program ended")

If you want to be a real smartie, you can combine lines 3, 4, 5 and 6 into one line: print(f"{x} is{' ' if x > y else ' not '}greater than {y}") 🙃

And since the commas automatically insert spaces, you can remove the spaces before 'is' and after 'than' 🙂
