Running error 

name = input("What's your name? ")

if name == "Vrund":
  print(name +  "is a lumberjack and he's OK!")
else:
  print( name + "sleeps all night and works all day!")

I try to run this code in iTerm and it gives me error: 

What's your name? Vrund
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hello.py", line 1, in <module>
    name = input("What's your name? ")
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Vrund' is not defined

I am thinking it is a space relation. What happens when you try with no empty lines? =) ... name = input("What's your name? ") if name == "Vrund": print(name + "is a lumberjack and he's OK!") else: print( name + "sleeps all night and works all day!")
