Executing statement inside if block is not printing in python

Question

when i executed the below code it is not printing ("yes we can"), its only printing ("all the best"). I am running the code in the visual studio. Executing statement inside if block is not printing in python.

code:

team = input("your favorite team")
if team == "Ferrari" :
    print("yes we can")
print("all the best")

enter image description here

may anyone please help me.

Unless your input is "Ferrari" *without a trailing newline* "yes we can" will not be printed. Check out [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/275018/how-can-i-remove-chomp-a-newline-in-python). — SethMMorton, Aug 09 '16 at 05:01
@JulienBernu: it should print Yes we can after providing Ferrari, but it is only printing all the best. — learning python, Aug 09 '16 at 05:03
@SethMMorton - The `input` function removes the linefeed that was used to signal the end of the input stream. — TigerhawkT3, Aug 09 '16 at 05:10
There's nothing to correct. That code works fine. If there's something else that may be part of the issue, please include it. — TigerhawkT3, Aug 09 '16 at 05:13

Which are you using, Python 2 or Python 3? You tagged both, `input()` is different between them. — cdarke, Aug 09 '16 at 05:35
Read [this page on the differences between `input` in Python 2 vs 3](http://sebastianraschka.com/Articles/2014_python_2_3_key_diff.html#parsing-user-inputs-via-input). It doesn't help if you just tag all Python versions to get people to see your post. — Nander Speerstra, Aug 09 '16 at 05:54

The image you show indicates a leading space before "Ferrari" which you don't have in your prompt. The strings must be identical. When I run your code:

your favorite teamFerrari
yes we can
all the best

But you show a leading space:

your favorite team Ferrari
all the best

You can fix this in a number of ways. First choose a better prompt. Second, strip leading and trailing whitespace:

team = input("Your favorite team: ").strip()
