I tried taking an input from keyboard. the checking that input with an if else statement. But everytime the else part is working. The if statement does not happen to be true. I can't understand where I am going wrong.

Here is what I have done.

abc= raw_input("Enter a  2 digit number");
if abc==6:print "Its party time!!!"
else:print "Its work time"

Please suggest

Your input variable is a string. You need to cast it to an integer to correctly compare it to 6.

if int(abc) == 6:
