5

6 empty_string = ""

7 if len(original) > 0:

8   print "Thank You" 

9     else print "empty"

Could it be that 'else' doesn't need tabulating?

 

Start it from the first column instead of the third or something.

what is the error

You're syntax for the if/else statement is incorrect. The else block needs to be at the same indentation level as the if block and must also include the colon.

if len(original) > 0:    print "Thank You"else:    print "empty"

  File "python", line 9
    else print "empty"
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

@Tomic you really need to use code tags. You'd likely receive more help that way; for instance I don't even bother to read the topic if it's obvious that the OP hasn't even put any effort into its presentation i.e. not even reading the glaringly obvious announcement...

@madknight3 i fixed it it needed a colon which i forgot. sorry for not using code tags @Nuluvius
