Invalid syntax on VERY SIMPLE Python if … else sta

Question

Can someone explain why I am getting an invalid syntax error from Python's interpretor while formulating this simple if...else statement? I don't add any tabs myself I simply type the text then press enter after typing. When I type an enter after "else:" I get the error. "Else" is highlighted by the interpreter. What's wrong?

Else needs to be vertically aligned. Identation is playing a key role in Python. I was getting the same syntax error while using else. Make sure you indent your code properly
