If and else statements are both true

Hi,

if I input yahya both "is learning python" and "you should definetly learn python" statements appear in the console, could anyone please explain to me where I went wrong?

Code:

First_name = input("Hello, What's your name?")

if First_name == "yahya":

print(First_name, " is learning python")

elif First_name == "gleb":

print (First_name, " is learning python")

else:

print ("you should definetly learn python {}".format(First_name))

print ("have a good day {}".format (First_name))

// thank you!

It seems like an indentation issue, make sure your indentation of else is proper.

As suggested by boi, an indentation error could cause your issue.

it seems that workspace just didn't work, I ran the code again today without modification and it worked :)
