Using if-condition to check filename

Question

Hi, I'm doing a real silly mistake in Python but unable to find what it is

I'm doing something like this in python

filename="file1"
if name == 'file1'
    print 1

I'm getting an invalid syntax error

Answer 1

You are missing a colon

filename="file1"
if name == 'file1':
    print 1

Answer 2

You need to put a colon at the end of the if statment

filename="file1"
if name == 'file1':
    print 1

Answer 3

what is name?? did you define it elsewhere?? I assume its "filename" instead, so

filename="file1"
if filename == 'file1':
    print 1

if "name" is defined, then the problem is indeed the ":" at the end of "if" line.
