Tell us what’s happening:

does anyone know how to write the code to this question? i keep getting errors

Your code so far

def square_root_bisection(square_target, tolerance=1e-7, max_iterations=100):
    if square_target < 0:
        raise ValueError('Square root of negative number is not defined in real numbers')
    if square_target == 1:
        root = 1
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is 1')
    elif square_target == 0:
        root = 0
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is 0')

    else square_target >0:
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is greater than 0')
    else square_target>1:
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is greater than 1')

else takes no condition, it’s a final catchall if no other condition matches. You can only have 1 else for this reason.

elif or Else If… does take a condition, as it does in the previous step and the code just above
