Yes. What have you tried?


Hint: here's a similar problem.

"Write an if-else statement that assigns "Hello" to the variable q if 
the variable p is equal to 11. Otherwise it should assign "Goodbye" to 
the variable q."

And here's the answer:

if p == 11:
    q = "Hello"
else:
    q = "Goodbye"


Can you see the pattern? Can you follow that same pattern for your own 
question?


(Hint: use > for "greater than".)
