Error pops up about indented block. Need help to stop this error

Question

answer = int(raw_input("How many hours a day do you play computer games? ")) 
if answer < 2: 
print "That seems a fairly healthy balance. Well done!" 
elif: 
print "You’re probably good enough by now with all that practice."
print "PS5 are better than any game console"

Errors keep popping up that says "There's an error in your program: expected an indented block"

I recommend you switch to Python 3, Python 2 is not supported anymore. — zabop, Jan 08 '21 at 22:59
Hit a tab or 4 spaces before the print statemets, that's going to make the code work. — zabop, Jan 08 '21 at 23:00
(or however many is one indentation level in your settings, 4 is typical) — zabop, Jan 08 '21 at 23:00

Python is based on indentations. The statements you want to be part of the `if` should be indented one level inside it — Tomerikoo, Jan 08 '21 at 23:01

@AhmedKassim, do you run the same code as shown in an answer to this post? — zabop, Jan 08 '21 at 23:05
@zabop got another error with the " : " next to the elif. i did run it — Ahmed Kassim, Jan 08 '21 at 23:09
`elif` needs to have a condition. Looks like you meant to use `else` — Tomerikoo, Jan 08 '21 at 23:15
@AhmedKassim I updated the answer with code that uses `else` in place of the `elif`. — Random Davis, Jan 08 '21 at 23:36

When you code in python you have to indent the code otherwise you'll get the errors like you got. Other programming languages use ; such as php or java in order to differentiate the lines to execute, but in python we have the indentations. Besides, you can't use elif statement without some condition and if you don't have it you have to use else instead.

answer = int(raw_input("How many hours a day do you play computer games? ")) 

if answer < 2: 
  print "That seems a fairly healthy balance. Well done!" 

else: # instead of elif, which requires a condition
  print "You’re probably good enough by now with all that practice."
  print "PS5 are better than any game console"
