Python error - name lengths -

this question has answer here:

• python mistake - number of letters in name 3 answers

here's requirement:

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, nice meet you" if name length > 3

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

why don't check bounds first?

name = input('enter name: ')  if len(name) <= 3:     r = 'you have short name.' elif len(name) > 8:     r = 'you have long name.' else:     r = 'nice meet you.'  prins 'hi {}, {}'.format(name, r)
