Python if statements with strings.

Why does this not work? Why does this not return "good im glad". Sorry i'm a beginner.

 x = str(input("Hello how are you?"))
    
    if x == "very good":
        print("Good Im Glad To Hear That!")
    else:
        print("I'm Sorry!")

It depends on which version of Python you are using, so we can't help until we know that. Print "x" to see what it contains. Also your indentation is off, but I am assuming that is a copy/paste error and not in the program.

I'm using python 3.2. The indentation is off because I copy and pasted it out of a program.
Thanks,
Nick

you may want to try raw_input() instead of input()

It should look like this.

x = raw_input('Hello how are you?')
if x == "very good":        
        print("Good Im Glad To Hear That!")
else:
        print("I'm Sorry!")

Python 2.7 or 3.2? We need details like that since assignments can work diff between the versions.
