I keep getting an Indentation Error : unexpected indent

This is the code that i am using

name = input(" what is your name? ")

if name == "kenneth": print(name + " is a lumberjack ") else: print(name + " works all day and night ")

and i keep getting an error saying

line 3 if name == "kenneth",

Indentation Error : unexpected indent

any help to correct this would help.

Thanks for all your help and time guys

You need to indent your print statement under the first if and the second print under else like below. You might also want to add a .lower() on the end of input(" what is your name? ") if you are checking to see if kenneth is lowercase.

Try this out!

name = input(" what is your name? ")

if name == "kenneth": 
    print(name + " is a lumberjack ") 
else: 
    print(name + " works all day and night ")
