Visual Studio Code Python Conditional Statement problem

Question

Hi I'm new to programming and I'm currently learning Python through LinkedIn and I'm stuck at on one of the sample codes

def main():
    a, b = 1, 10
    if(a < b):
        st = "x is LESSER than y"
    print(st)

It's not even showing any error messages so I'm confused right now. (My interpreter is Python 3.7.4)

don't use braces `()` for simple if-boolean-expressions, this is not Java/C++/JavaScript/C# — rioV8, Jun 23 '20 at 01:08

You just created a function. You need to call the function to get executed

Instead of using a variable, you can directly print unless it's absolutely necessary. Call the function main()

def main():
    a, b = 1, 10
    if a < b:
        print("a is LESSER than b")

main()
