I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Can you please help?

name = input("What should I call you? ")
birth_year = int(input("what year were your born?"))



current_year = 2017

turn_25 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year 
turn_50 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year 
turn_75 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year  
turn_100 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year

if turn_25 > current year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(25, turn_25, name))
if turn_50 > current year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(50, turn_50, name))
if turn_75 > current year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(75, turn_75, name))
if turn_100 > current year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(100, turn_100, name))
else:
    continue

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

     ```html
    <p>This is code!</p>
  ```

Yea I got it where is your issue -

change the code to-

name = input("What should I call you? ")
birth_year = int(input("what year were your born?"))



current_year = 2017

turn_25 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year 
turn_50 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year 
turn_75 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year  
turn_100 = (current_year - birth_year) + current_year

if turn_25 > current_year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(25, turn_25, name))
elif turn_50 > current_year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(50, turn_50, name))
elif turn_75 > current_year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(75, turn_75, name))
elif turn_100 > current_year:
    print("You will turn {} in the year {}, {}".format(100, turn_100, name))

GOOD LUCK!

The challenge is to understand the debugging long term. Especially when there wont be any support.
