There is syntax issue with 10=5 and 10 => 5 as explained below: a). when you write ' if 10 = 5 :' then it will throw a syntax error as the syntax for if is ' if comparison :' while 10=5 is assignment b). when you write ' if 10 => 5 :' then it will throw a syntax error as the operator used(=>) is wrong. The correct operator is >=.

If statements run only IF its TRUE, your code is false, so you have to code a else line :) And dont forget spaces between your fonts

we use '=' for variable assignment not comparison that why you got error :)
