Python Comparison Challenge

Hello can someone tell me what's wrong with this syntax?

name = input("Please enter your name: ")  
number = int(input("Please enter a number: "))  
is_fizz = number % 3 == 0

if is_fizz   
    print("is a Fizz number")

I tried out is fizz in the interactive python session and it returned true.

You're very close. There is a missing colon on the if statement.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!
