[Tutor] If statement The Python Tutorial 3.4.1

[Gregory Donaldson]

I've tried to copy this example from the Tutorial into the Python Idle, but
it doesn't seem to recognize it.

4.1. if <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#if>
 Statements¶
<https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#if-statements>

Perhaps the most well-known statement type is the if
<https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#if> statement. For
example:
>>>

>>> x = int(input("Please enter an integer: "))Please enter an integer: 42>>> if x < 0:...     x = 0...     print('Negative changed to zero')... elif x == 0:...     print('Zero')... elif x == 1:...     print('Single')... else:...     print('More')...More

This is what it looks like when I try to get it to work.

>>> x = int(input("Please enter an integer: "))

Please enter an integer: 42

>>> if x < 0:

x = 0

print('Negative changed to zero')

elif x == 0:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

>>> if x < 0:

x = 0

print('Negative changed to zero')

    elif x == 0:
