    highScore = 10 userInput = Input("What's your score? (Give a number 1 - 20)") userInput = int(userInput) if userInput < 10 print(Good job!) if userInput > 10 print("Try again.") if userInput = 10 print("You tied the high score.")

    user = input("Give me a number") number = int(user) if number < 5: user2 = number2 = int(user2) if print("I love CS") elif print("CS is the best") else: print("I like CS better than food") else: print("Who else loves CS?")
