Why won’t my if statement work

https://code.sololearn.com/c666mkc3yhSd/?ref=app The if statement won’t work (the code is meant to simulate bunny populations and the if statement is to kill bunny’s that are over 9 generations old)

you need to indent every line which should be included in the if statement - proper indention is essential in python! it is basically replacing the curly braces like in java or c

First, check your indentions, indention in defining functions and if statements are required. Second, what is your desired output? Can you give some sample inputs and outputs? I can't quite what you're trying to program. Thanks, that will help.

Ben Carvalho Well.. the reason why I'm asking for the purpose of the program is for the syntaxes and to know what you want to do. Anyway I'll just point out what causes errors. x-=population.[0] remove(population.[0]) Should be population.remove(population[0]) remove is a method of list so it must be followed by the list and a dot.

Oh ok, anyway. "def" requires indention too # like this def function(): return something
