1,441 PointsCode won't finish running the last line. And when I run with different name it runs the same.
first_name = input("What is your first name? ") print("Hello,", first_name) if first_name == "Rob": print(first_name, "is learning python") print("Have a great day {}!".format(first_name))
CONSOLE READS: python hello.py What is your first name? Rob Hello, Rob Rob is learning Python
python hello.py What is your first name? Kenneth Hello, Rob Kenneth is learning Python
CONSOLE SHOULD READ: python hello.py What is your first name? Rob Hello, Rob Rob is learning Python Have a great day Rob!
python hello.py What is your first name? Kenneth Hello, Kenneth Have a great day Kenneth!
What am I doing wrong?

47,878 PointsI can't see how you've indented your print statements with what you posted, but to make the code do as on the video, you need to indent the print statement under the if statement, i.e. print(first_name, "is learning python"). The next print statement, i.e. print("Have a great day {}!".format(first_name)) is not indented (it runs outside of the if statement).
Hope this helps!

1,441 PointsIndentation used: (Hopefully you can see it.) Periods used as place holder for indentation.
first_name = input("what is your first name? ")
print("Hello,", first_name)
if first_name == "Rob":
....print(first_name, "is learning Python")
print("Have a great day {}!".format(first_name))
