How to make user input in Python 3

I want to create a program that will say correct or incorrect when a user types down a answer.

I tried using Python storing variables to solve the problem but to no avail

The code is a bit like this

    question1 = input ("Type down a password!")
    if input = "bannanas"
      print('Sucess!')

else print("ohhhhh")

But the terminal says 

File "main.py", line 2
    if input = "bannanas"
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax`enter code here`
Solution

  • Use the comparison operator, ==, instead of the assignment operator (=):

    question1 = input("Type down a password!")

if input == "bannanas": print('Success!')

else: print("ohhhhh")

    You also have a few other syntatical errors, like missing colons (which I added).
