variables - Python Mistake - Number of letters in name -

write program checks how long name is. program should take name input user.

if name has 3 or fewer letters, program should work this:

enter name: lin hi lin, have short name.

if name has between 4 , 8 letters (inclusive), program should work this:

enter name: jimmy hi jimmy, nice meet you.

otherwise, if name has more 8 letters, program should work this:

enter name: yaasmeena hi yaasmeena, have long name.

here's attempt returns "hi xxxxxxx, have short name" regardless of length.

name = input('enter name: ')  if name.count('name') >= int(3):   print ('hi', 'name', ',', 'nice meet you.')   elif name.count('name') <= int(3):   print ('hi', 'name', ',', 'you have short name.')  elif name.count('name') > int(8):   print ('hi', 'name', ',', 'you have long name.') 

you should use len(name) , don't need int(3) 3 integer. check should this:

name = input('enter name: ')  if len(name) >= 3:    # stuff 

i changed name name standard convention of variable naming in python.
