If: else:

hi.i tried this code in python: nume=input("") if nume.endswith("ana"): print(nume + " - banana") if nume.endswith("tin"): print(nume+" - mandarin") else: print("you are lucky") why does it print all the time the "you are lucky"? if i type name "diana", it should only print "diana - banana", but it executes also the "else" print

Because it first does the first 'if' if it's true it goes to the second 'if' which will be false and so it will do the 'else' as well. I suggest using 'elif' instead of that second 'if' and that 'else'.
