python - Why do I get a syntax error? -
sales = 1000 #def commissionrate(): if (sales < 10000): print("da") else: if (sales <= 10000 , >= 15000): print("ea")
syntax error on if (sales <= 10000 , >= 15000):
line. particularly on equal signs.
you need compare sales
against second condition also:
in [326]: sales = 1000 #def commissionrate(): if (sales < 10000): print("da") else: if (sales <= 10000 , sales >= 15000): print("ea") da
you need this:
if (sales <= 10000 , sales >= 15000): ^^^^ sales here
additionally don't need parentheses ()
around if
conditions:
if sales <= 10000 , sales >= 15000:
works fine
you rewrite more compact:
in [328]: sales = 1000 if sales < 10000: print("da") else: if 10000 <= sales <= 15000: print("ea") da
so if 10000 <= sales <= 15000:
works also, @donkey kong
additionally (thanks @pjz) , nothing code logically sales cannot both less 10000 , greater 15000.
so without syntax errors condition never true
.
you wanted if sales > 10000 , sales <= 15000:
or if 10000 <= sales <= 15000:
maybe clearer you
just expand on if 10000 <= sales <= 15000:
syntax (thanks @will suggestion), in python 1 can perform math comparisons lower_limit < x < upper_limit
explained here more natural usual if x > lower_limit , x < upper_limit:
.
this allows comparisons chained, docs:
formally, if
a
,b
,c
, ...,y
,z
expressions ,op1
,op2
, ...,opn
comparison operators,a op1 b op2 c ... y opn z
equivalenta op1 b , b op2 c , ... y opn z
, except each expression evaluated @ once.
