I need help with a python basics program please/

Question

I keep getting an error on line 5 for some reason. I want to know what I can do to make this program work. I appreciate the help.

name = input("What is your name?") print("Hello", name) question = input("What is your favorite color?"} if question == "blue" print("Blue Bear")

elif question == yellow print("Yellow Banana") else: print("Wrong")

I think I see a few mistakes, but it's difficult to help when you post your code like this.

It looks like you accidentally closed the quote "what is your favorite color?" with a curly brace instead of ending parenthesis, after your 'if' and 'elif' statements you need to put a colon (:), and you didn't put quotations around "yellow"

name = input("What is your name?")
print("Hello", name)
question = input("What is your favorite color?")
if question == "blue":
    print("Blue Bear")
elif question == "yellow" :
    print("Yellow Banana")
else:
    print("Wrong")

side note - Check out the markdown cheatsheet on how to post your code!

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>
      ```
