Python IDLE won't run the code

Question

The code I had wasn't executing whatsoever. So, I tried it with a basic code:

x=10, if x==10:, print ("Hello"),

This worked. But the moment I extended it to anything else, it wouldn't run eg.:

count=0, x=10, if x==10:, count=count+1, if count == 10:, print ("Hello"),

(That had correct indents and exc. the commas.) The loop wouldn't loop. Anyone understand why? The other queries similar to this regard a different issue. It won't run through CMDLine either. I did uninstall and reinstall it but that changed nothing.

Also count is 11 when it hits the if statement, so it never prints. — AncientSwordRage

Python != MATLAB. You can't separate lines with commas as far as I am aware. Semicolons are OK though. — Mad Physicist

@madphysicist I was using it as, for whatever reason, I could get the lines to separate on here — Cal Ford

The reason your loop won't run is because there isn't a loop. I think what you're trying to do is this.

for i in range(11):
    if i == 10:
        print('Hello')

With the current string of commands that you're running, count is simply being increment from 0 to 1, and since count != 10 at that point, you never see Hello.

I think OP meant conditional rather than loop, but that's just based on assumption.

@Jerrybibo perhaps, but regardless...if he's expecting to see Hello printed, then his logic is completely off.

Let's hope OP clarifies his question.

Yes, a loop is what I meant. But the problem arises with imported code, that works at school with the same version, doesn't work at home. Even if I type up an exact copy, it fails to execute any part that would do so normally. As I said, I have in installed and reinstalled Python 3.5 but no luck. Thanks

@CalFord are you using the same version of python at school and at home? I know a lot of education institutions still use python2.7 because of stability.
