Help with a [super] simple Python homework assignment?

[Justin_]

Hey guys, I am doing some python for homework and I can't figure out why this code wont work. It looks OK to me, but it is not outputting anything. Think you can offer some help?

year = 1776

if year > 2099:
    print = ('Distant Future')
elif year > 1999:
    print = ('21st century')
elif year > 1899:
    print = ('20th century')
elif year < 1900:
    print = ('Long ago')

you don't need '=' signs in the print command. It should be this:

 

year = 1776

if year > 2099:
    print('Distant Future')
elif year > 1999:
    print('21st century')
elif year > 1899:
    print('20th century')
elif year < 1900:
    print('Long ago')

Afaik you don't do

 

print = ("String")

you just do

 

print("String")

That would be correct, I knew I did something dumb.
