#Write a program which first asks the user for their full name.
#It should then ask appropriate questions concerning their gender and
#marital status in order to determine their title (Miss, Mrs or Mr).
#Finally, it should greet the user formally using their title and
#surname e.g. Hello Mr AKHTAR

can anyone help me out please

[Apostle]

you have not said what you want us to do! Is it working, or need more improved version or what?

If you don't want your program to be case sensitive, try converting user input to all lowercase with the lower function:

gender = raw_input ("Please enter in your gender information (male or female): ").lower()

Then you only need to test lowercase:

if gender == "m" or gender == "male"

Hope this helps.

yes i want a more improved version of my code,

Following is another way of testing the input. It also converts the input to lowercase.

if gender.lower() in ["m", "male"]:
    if maritalstatus.lower() == "single":

name code

thnaks that works, but when i changed the code, for the female code, it does work. but when it gets to the lasts bit of code, when its asks for maritalstautus, it does not display, the final print message, it only works, if a female, says she is single.but if you chose married it does not work.

elif gender.lower() in ["f", "female"]:
            if maritalstatus.lower()=="single":
        print "Hello Miss" + surname
    else:
        print "Hello Mrs" + surname

Indentation in Python is extremely important. You have an indentation error. Example of proper indentation:

>>> gender = 'FEMALE'
>>> surname = 'Smith'
>>> maritalstatus = 'married'
>>> if gender.lower() in ["m", "male"]:
... 	pass
... elif gender.lower() in ["f", "female"]:
... 	if maritalstatus.lower()=="single":
... 		print "Hello Miss " + surname
... 	else:
... 		print "Hello Mrs " + surname
... 		
Hello Mrs Smith
>>>

name code

no thing is it runs, and it works when you type in information, but when it comes to typin female, and when you type married, nothing out puts.

here is the codes how i have written it.

forename = raw_input("Enter your forename: ").swapcase()

surname = raw_input ("Enter your surname :")

gender = raw_input ("Enter in your gender information (male or female): ")

maritalstatus = raw_input ("Enter in your marital status information (single or married): ")

if gender.lower() in ["m", "male"]: 
    if maritalstatus.lower() == "single":
        print "Hello Mr" + surname
    else:
        print "Hello Mr" + surname

  

elif gender.lower() in ["f", "female"]:
    if maritalstatus.lower()=="single":
            
      print "Hello Miss" + surname
else:
        print "Hello Mrs" + surname

but when you run it likes this. notice, when i types married.

Enter your forename: smith
Enter your surname :kelly
Enter in your gender information (male or female): female
Enter in your marital status information (single or married): married
>>> (here it spose to deipay the out put message . "hello mrs kelly" but it doe not.
