help xd

[fierce jacinth]

@rare frigate do you see why this is wrong? else: input_password != admin_pass

[rare frigate]

huh

so whats the mistake\

i did is not equal

@fierce jacinth

[velvet stratus]

an if else looks like this

x = 5
if x == 6:
  print("x is 6")
else:
  print("x is not 6")```

your else looks like this else: input_password != admin_pass

[rare frigate]

yes but

!= means not equal

??

[fierce jacinth]

@rare frigate an else can't have a condition. the else block is for when all prior conditions are false.

[velvet stratus]

yeah

[rare frigate]

so if the password the user did is not equal to admin_pass then it will reduce his attempts\

i dont see whats wrong

[velvet stratus]

if you check if its equal and its not then you know it must not be equal

[rare frigate]

whats a condition?

im new to python btw guys

[velvet stratus]

else doenst take anything as an argument

[rare frigate]

so what should i do instead if !=

[fierce jacinth]

something that can be true or false; input_password == admin_pass is the condition for your if statement

[rare frigate]

so if can have a condition

but else cant

that makes no sense but okay

[fierce jacinth]

exactly

it makes tons of sense

the "else" is for if the condition is false

if you want to check more than one condition, you use elif

[rare frigate]

ok ok fine

[fierce jacinth]

user_input = input('enter some text: ')

if user_input.startswith('a'):
    print('a!!!')
elif user_input.startswith('b'):
    print('b!!!')
else:
    print('neither')

[rare frigate]

thank you guys by thr way!

[rare frigate]

Oh

okayyy

wait you are right it does make sense

[fierce jacinth]

there's no point doing this, though

user_input = input('enter some text: ')

if user_input.startswith('a'):
    print('a!!!')
elif not user_input.startswith('a'):
    print('no')

you could just use else: because if user_input.startswith('a') is false, then not user_input.startswith('a') is guaranteed to be true

@rare frigate make sense?
