Python elif help

[boob00]

Hello all, I am new to python and am having trouble with an if elif statement. My code is as follows:

num1 = raw_input('Number: ');
  if num1 > 140:
    print 'high'
  elif num1 < 80:
    print 'low'

When i run this, and i put in say 150 it tells me that the number is high as expected, but when i run it and put in say 60, it still days high. Any help is grately appreciated.

Your syntax looks correct to me. Is that the exact source code that is giving you trouble?

three questions:

1) why do you have a semicolon at the end of the first line?

2) why are 'if' and 'elif' indented relative to the first line?

3) have you verified that you're not mixing tabs and spaces for indentation?

The issue is raw_input() gets a string value which he is comparing with a int value. The solution would be to change raw_input() to input() or convert num1 to an int value with the int() function
