11,374 PointsIndentations matter in python. You want if and the corresponding elif or else statements to be indented the same amount.

7,332 PointsThere's a typo in the code. This will throw an error. Go over this for typos and it should be fixed.

And like others have said, your indentation matters. Make sure things line up properly.

Treehouse Guest TeacherTrue isn't the same as "True". The first is a boolean and the second is a string.
