I'm just learning python and I don't understand why the else line doesn't work.

The output of the script always gives me the if line and not the else line no matter the size of "count" :

def donuts(count):
     if count>=10: print 'Number of donuts: many'
     else: print 'Number of donuts: ' + `count` 
count = raw_input("Number of donuts: ")
donuts(count)
raw_input("press<enter>")

You're comparing an integer with string. – Ashwini Chaudhary Jan 31 '15 at 08:29

Perhaps try calling donuts(int(count)). You may be comparing a string to an int – Christopher Shroba Jan 31 '15 at 08:30
