54,664 PointsSee the first example here. It is close to what you are trying to do. Notice:
- if, elif, else statements end with a colon
- else comes last and has no condition. It is what runs when all other conditions are false
- the input is converted to an integer before being compared to other numbers

54,664 PointsConvert number to int before passing to the function. This can be done with the input:
num = int(input("Please enter number: "))
def how_big(number):
if number <= 10:
print("not enough")
elif number == 11:
print("perfect")
else :
print("too much")
how_big(num)

5,706 Pointsso now it looks like this... num = input("Please enter number: ")
def how_big(number): if int(number) <= 10: print("not enough") elif number == 11: print("perfect") else : print("too much")
how_big(num)
Generally, it works but when I type 11 it shows me that it is too much - why and how to fix that?
