See 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

so 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?

Convert 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)
