[Tutor] SyntaxError Message

[Pamela Wightley]

Hi All,

I have no programming experience and am trying to  teaching myself python. Am trying to replicate the code below but I get the error message below highlighted in yellow:

choice = input("Choose your option: ")
    if choice == 1:
        add1 = input("Add this: ")
        add2 = input("to this: ")
        print add1, "+", add2, "=", add1 + add2
    elif choice == 2:
        sub2 = input("Subtract this: ")
        sub1 = input("from this: ")
        print sub1, "-", sub2, "=", sub1 - sub2
    elif choice == 3:
        mul1 = input("Multiply this: ")
        mul2 = input("with this: ")
        print mul1, "*", mul2, "=", mul1 * mul2
    elif choice == 4:
        div1 = input("Divide this: ")
        div2 = input("by this: ")
        print div1, "/", div2, "=", div1 / div2
    elif choice == 5:
        loop = 0


Any assistance appreciated.
