SyntaxError: can't assign to operator

Entire Code:

tempUnit = int(input())
if tempUnit <= 50:
    Rate = 2.60 and S = 25
    print("Electricity Bill =", tempUnit*Rate + S)
elif tempUnit > 50 and tempUnit <= 100:
    Rate = 3.25 and S = 35 and D = tempUnit-50
    print("Electricity Bill =", 50*2.60+D*Rate+S)
elif tempUnit > 100 and tempUnit <= 200:
    Rate = 5.26 and S = 45 and D = tempUnit-100
    print("Electricity Bill =", 50*2.60+50*3.25+D*Rate + S)
elif tempUnit > 200:
    Rte = 8.45 and S = 75 and D = tempUnit-150
    print("Electricity Bill =", 50*2.60+50*3.25+100*5.26+D*Rte + S)
else:
    print("Invalid Input")

Guys, I cannot figure out the problem here. Just a beginner at python an answer would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Seems you're trying to compare values whilst also assigning them. (python does have an operator for this called the walrus operator actually but from the looks of it, it looks like you just want to assign variables values).

Rte = 8.45 and S = 75 and D = tempUnit-150

has to be

Rate = 8.45
S = 75
D = tempUnit-150

or

Rate, S, D = 8.45, 75, tempUnit-150
