Having problems with my linear search random number generator [closed]

Question

I have no clue why this doesn't work, it's a random number generator from 1-100 which generates 50 numbers then asks for user input to see if that number is contained in the list. I don't see why this is a syntax error:

Answer 1

You have to indent correctly. Instead of:

if num in mylist:
    print("The list is:", mylist)
position = LinearSearch(mylist, num)
print("element", 'num, is at position', position)

else:
    print("Your number was not in the list ;-;")

You want:

if num in mylist:
    print("The list is:", mylist)
    position = LinearSearch(mylist, num) #notice the indention
    print("element", 'num, is at position', position) #notice the indention

else:
    print("Your number was not in the list ;-;"

This tells python that the else goes with the if since the other lines are not "in between" them.
