Even once you fixed the mis-cased if and improper indentation in your code, it wouldn’t work as you probably expected. To check a string against a set of strings, use in. Here’s how you’d do it (and note that if is all lowercase and that the code within the if block is indented one level).
One approach:
if answer in [‘y’, ‘Y’, ‘yes’, ‘Yes’, ‘YES’]:
print(“this will do the calculation”)
Another:
if answer.lower() in [‘y’, ‘yes’]:
print(“this will do the calculation”)
If should be if. Your program should look like this:
answer = raw_input(“Is the information correct? Enter Y for yes or N for no”)
if answer.upper() == ‘Y’:
print(“this will do the calculation”)
else:
exit()
Note also that the indentation is important, because it marks a block in Python.
