You have two issues with your code.

Firstly the else statement should not be followed by a conditional clause. When you have a series of if … else if statements, the final else statement is designed to cover all other cases not covered by the previous conditions. If you wish to include a condition, it should be an else if statement. (It’s not imperative to include an else statement at all, if you don’t need to).

Secondly, you have a variable in your code which you haven’t declared properly.
