I can not get my python basics program to run. Here it is:

age = input("are you at least 21?") if age == yes: print("yay") else: print("nay")

I appreciate the help!

Try putting quotation marks around the "yes". Without them python tries looking for a variable called yes.

Accidentally wrote parentheses instead of quotation marks earlier. Not the same thing at all.
