How do I correct the indentation error in a python switch clause?

Python
1

here 

def grade_converter(grade):
    if grade >= 90:
        return "A"
    elif grade >= 80 and grade > 90:
        return "B"
    elif grade >= 70 and grade > 80:
        return "C"
    elif grade >= 65 and grade > 70:
        return "D"
    else:    #indentation error is occurring here
        return "F"
      
# This should print an "A"      
print grade_converter(92)

# This should print a "C"
print grade_converter(70)

# This should print an "F"
print grade_converter(61)

I am learning error read and so learning good habits now will prevent me from asking dumb questions later. This is specifically a spacing error

I know my answers are correct because I got them right on previous exercises for code academy.

Please help ASAP as I am trying to launch my website and therefore am learning python ( I already have the front end sorted out)

First remove the comment thing. I think comments in python are # not // comment.

Then. The else never needs a condition. Just like in js or java or c++ etc.

I had no errors in repl assuming you are using python 3? Check your indents.

The else part is wrong.
The print syntax is wrong.
Your conditional logic is also wrong… (Read it aloud).

def grade_converter(grade):
    if grade >= 90:
        return "A"
    elif grade >= 80 and grade < 90:
        return "B"
    elif grade >= 70 and grade < 80:
        return "C"
    elif grade >= 65 and grade < 70:
        return "D"
    else:
        return "F"


# This should print an "A"
print(grade_converter(92))

# This should print a "C"
print( grade_converter(70))

# This should print an "F"
print(grade_converter(61))

I did it right after I asked you! Im so glad I figured it out on my own :slight_smile: I’m so glad I’m not making the same mistakes I did when I started! The crocodiles were in the wrong order.

# Complete the if and elif statements!
def grade_converter(grade):
    if grade >= 90:
        return "A"
    elif grade >= 80 and grade < 90:
        return "B"
    elif grade >= 70 and grade < 80:
        return "C"
    elif grade >= 65 and grade < 70:
        return "D"
    else:
        return "F"
      
# This should print an "A"      
print grade_converter(92)

# This should print a "C"
print grade_converter(70)

# This should print an "F"
print grade_converter(61)
      
# This should print an "A"      
print grade_converter(92)

# This should print a "C"
print grade_converter(70)

# This should print an "F"
print grade_converter(61)
