what is wrong with this code ? is it because I wrote two ifs in the beginning?

n = int(input().strip()) if n % 2 == 1: print("Weird") if n % 2 == 0 and n >= 2 and n <= 5: print("Not Weird") elif n >= 6 and n <= 20: print("Weird") elif n >= 20: print("Not Weird")

In if-else blocks : either if or else part gets executed. But in like if... if... if.. all if are checked, each one is independent to other. Your first if only prints for odd numbers, and prints Weird on true. 2nd if checks for even number first and must be in between 2 to 5 , on true prints "Not weird" Else if checks next is number is between 6 to 20, on true prints "Weird" Else prints "Not weird". Your input satisfied on first if so prints "Weird" But by next if, =>last elif so also prints "Not Weird"

A message appears to me that input 29 is expected to result as "weird I suppose it should result "weird" in what I wrote but I'm not sure Is the second if code "if n% 2 == 0 is applied to all the if / elif statement afterwards?

aly nagaty 29 will result in "weird" if the 2nd "if" statement is false then control will goes to elif

aly nagaty looks like you are checking for n%2==0 for all the others elif to. No bro, n%2==0 is onlyy applied to the 2nd if statement
