What is wrong with my my Python if else statement?

Question

PersonsName = input('Enter your name: ')
print('Hello', PersonsName)

AnswerToHowAreYouToday = input('How are you feeling today? Are you doing Good or Bad?')


print('Ok', PersonsName,'So today you are basically feeling', AnswerToHowAreYouToday, '.')


a = "Good"
b = "Bad"
if AnswerToHowAreYouToday: a
print('Good')
else:
    print('Bad')

1- It's not indented properly 2- AnswerToHowAreYouToday is string, not boolean or 3- you don't compare equality with :, you do it with ==. The : comes at the end of the if statement. — Guy

Don't just paste your code here and ask for help. Please first describe what problems you have encountered and what have you tried yourself to solve the problem. — satoru

If you want print how he is feeling just print AnswerToHowAreYouToday. There is no need of if else here. If AnswerToHowAreYouToday is something other than "good" and "bad" you would get no output. — Ch3steR

Your if else statement indentation is wrong. Generally four whitespaces are used for indentation and is preferred over tabs. Indentation can be ignored in line continuation. But it's a good idea to always indent.

PersonsName = input('Enter your name: ')
print('Hello', PersonsName)

AnswerToHowAreYouToday = input('How are you feeling today? Are you doing Good or Bad?')


print('Ok', PersonsName,'So today you are basically feeling', AnswerToHowAreYouToday, '.')


a = "Good"
b = "Bad"
if AnswerToHowAreYouToday == a:
    print('Good')
else:
    print('Bad')

Your if AnswerToHowAreYouToday: a should be like this if AnswerToHowAreYouToday == a. @Santhos have mentioned it but when your code running your output display like this

Enter your name: Deepak                                                                                                              
Hello Deepak                                                                                                                         
How are you feeling today? Are you doing Good or Bad?Good                                                                            
Ok Deepak So today you are basically feeling Good .                                                                                  
Good

You can see two Good printed at last. To avoid these issues you can improved your code like this

PersonsName = input('Enter your name: ')
print('Hello', PersonsName)

AnswerToHowAreYouToday = input('How are you feeling today? Are you doing Good or Bad? ')

print('Ok', PersonsName,'So today you are basically feeling ', end = '')

a = "Good"
b = "Bad"
if AnswerToHowAreYouToday == a:
    print('Good.')
else:
    print('Bad.')

Then Output will be:

Enter your name: Deepak                                                                                                              
Hello Deepak                                                                                                                         
How are you feeling today? Are you doing Good or Bad? Good                                                                            
Ok Deepak So today you are basically feeling Good.
