Resolved: İntro to conditionals
İn the task below:
x = 5
y = 6
#
print('x =',x,'y =',y)
print('Checking less than with \'<\':',x < y)
print('Checking greater than with \'>\':',x > y)
İs the sign < or > should always be written with with ':' expression ?
Hey Khadija,
Thanks for reaching out!
The <, >, and : symbols are all part of a print-statement. Inside the print-statement, there is a set of esaped quotation marks such that the printed text becomes:
Checking less than with '<':
To answer your question, < or > don't need to be followed by a colon.
