Problem with one of the exercises for conditional statement

Q&A DQ Courses
#1

Here is the exercise -
In the code editor, we’ve already initialized the variable a_price with a value of 0. Transcribe the following sentences into code by making use of if statements:

  1. If a_price is equal to 0, then print the string 'This is free' (remember to use the == operator for equality).
  2. If a_price is equal to 1, then print the string 'This is not free'.

My result -

1 a_price = 0
2 if a_price == 0:
3    print('This is Free')
4 if a_price == 1:
5    print('This is not Free')

So when I submit the answer - I get this message
The output of your code didn’t match what we expected.

So I checked for the answer and it shows that my answer is correct.
So I don’t understand why it displayed that message - The output of your code didn’t match what we expected.

By the way I did indent the print statements not sure why it doesn’t get indented in the knowledge base.

#3

Edited your post to indicate markdown for python. Now, the code is indented.

#4

Do you have the reference link to the mission or exercise?

From your code below, all looks good.

The code below works:

a_price = 0
if a_price == 0:
    print("This is free")
if a_price == 1:
    print("This is not free")

@dseto200, found your error.

You need to match the string exactly. Replace Free with free.

a_price = 0
if a_price == 0:
    print("This is free")
if a_price == 1:
    print("This is not free")
