Why is python program running the wrong part of if else statement?

[Joshua Billings]

I am working on a programming assignment, and I can't figure out what is wrong with these lines of code.

if ad > 6:
    rectAD.setFill("red")
if ad <= 3:
    rectAD.setFill("red")
else:
    rectAD.setFill("green")

With the values I am using for testing, ad = 7. The problem is that the program is running the "else" statement, when I really would rather it didn't. What have I done wrong? Also, is there some way to consolidate the two "if" statements into one?

Another way to code this is to use green as the default and eliminate the else statement.

rectAD.setFill("green")
if (ad <=3) or (ad > 6):
    rectAD.setFill("red")
