Why does python write code from else in if?

Question

I have this python source code:

while True:
    answer = input("\nApple or Nokia?")
    if answer == 'Apple':
        print("Nice, you have Apple!")

    if answer == 'Nokia':
        print("Nice, you have Nokia!")

    else:
        print("I do not understand.")

But when I run it and write Apple, the python says:

Apple or Nokia?Apple
Nice, you have Apple!
I do not understand.

Apple or Nokia?

I don't know why python writes "I do not understand."

the second if should be an elif (else if). Otherwise on an 'Apple' input the first if and the else from the second if will be executed. — Stefan B

You have typo:

if answer == 'Nokia':

should be

elif answer == 'Nokia':

your original code is equivalent to

while True:
    answer = input("\nApple or Nokia?")
    if answer == 'Apple':
        print("Nice, you have Apple!")
    else:
        pass  # do nothing

    if answer == 'Nokia':
        print("Nice, you have Nokia!")

    else:
        print("I do not understand.")
