There is a combination of issues as pointed out in a few of the other answers    As pointed out by nneonneo you are mixing different String Formatting methods  As pointed out by GuyP your indentation is off as well    I ve provided both the example of  format as well as passing tuples to the argument specifier of  s  In both cases the indentation has been fixed so greater less than checks are outside of when length matches  Also changed subsequent if statements to elif s so they only run if the prior same level statement was False   String Formatting with  format  name1   input  Enter name 1     name2   input  Enter name 2     len name1  len name2  if len name1     len name2       if name1    name2          print   The names are the same       else          print   The names are different  but are the same length   elif len name1   gt  len name2       print    0  is longer than  1   format name1  name2   elif len name1   lt  len name2       print    0  is longer than  1   format name2  name1     String Formatting with  s and a tuple  name1   input  Enter name 1     name2   input  Enter name 2     len name1  len name2  if len name1     len name2       if name1    name2          print   The names are the same       else          print   The names are different  but are the same length   elif len name1   gt  len name2       print    s is longer than  s     name1  name2   elif len name1   lt  len name2       print    s is longer than  s     name2  name1

For me  as I was storing many values within a single print call  the solution was to create a separate variable to store the data as a tuple and then call the print function   x    f  id    f  name    f  age    print x

You re mixing different format functions   The old-style   formatting uses   codes for formatting    It will cost   d dollars     95   The new-style    formatting uses    codes and the  format method   It will cost   0  dollars   format 95    Note that with old-style formatting  you have to specify multiple arguments using a tuple     d days and  d nights     40  40      In your case  since you re using    format specifiers  use  format      0   is longer than   1    format name1  name2

In addition to the other two answers  I think the indentations are also incorrect in the last two conditions  The conditions are that one name is longer than the other and they need to start with  elif  and with no indentations  If you put it within the first condition  by giving it four indentations from the margin   it ends up being contradictory because the lengths of the names cannot be equal and different at the same time        else          print   The names are different  but are the same length   elif len name1   gt  len name2       print    0  is longer than  1   format name1  name2

The error is in your string formatting   The correct way to use traditional string formatting using the     operator is to use a printf-style format string  Python documentation for this here  http   docs python org 2 library string html format-string-syntax       s  is longer than   s      name1  name2    However  the     operator will probably be deprecated in the future  The new PEP 3101 way of doing things is like this      0   is longer than   1    format name1  name2
