How come this code has an error?

siblings = int(input()) popsicles = int(input()) #your code goes here if(popsicles / siblings = 0){ print("give away") } else{ print("eat them yourself") } Aparently Popsicles can't be divided by siblings like that, cause it says there's an error

Remember that you don´t need to have the same amount of pops and siblings to make the code print "give away", you need the REMAINDER to be 0. That might be a good clue. Also the remainder should be 0 if you have more popsicles than siblings, or if you have more siblings than popsicles to be able to give them away.

Potato it should be like this siblings = int(input()) popsicles = int(input()) #your code goes here if(popsicles / siblings == 0): print("give away") else: print("eat them yourself")

in the fourth line if(popsicles/siblings=0) Use (==) for checking equality you have used (=)
