Problem with a code

Hi. I have a problem and I'm asking for help because I can't deal with it. I tried to write a code for the calculator, but I still get the error: File "..\Playground\", line 17 elif user_input = "subtract":     ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax https://code.sololearn.com/cXe3wrPD5bjq/?ref=app

It is happening because of wrong indent. There should be a space before any line in Python otherwise it will give error. Check this edited by me https://code.sololearn.com/ct211GEjP5va/?ref=app

Check this once. If you will not follow this then you will get error in python. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.geeksforgeeks.org/statement-indentation-and-comment-in-python/amp/

also in your example you use = as an assignment operator. you should be using == which is an comparison operator
