An if statement in Python requires some careful punctuation and indentation:

    if this_cat == my_cat:
        # This cat is mine.
        print("%s is my cat!" % cat.title())

Note the comparison operator, ==, as opposed to the assignment operator, =.

Note the list of operators available to you:

== # is equal
!= # not equal
> # greater than
< # less than
>= # greater or equal
<= # less or equal

  1. Return to examples.py.
  2. Do a test on the author’s name. If the name variable holds the proper name, print “Authorized Edition”.
  3. If the name variable doesn’t hold the proper name, print “No an Authorized Edition!”
