Please adjust your email program to text mode. Wordwrapping python
source code doesn't work very well.
input() returns a character string. If you want an integer, you need to
use int() function. Currently you're comparing an integer 35 to a
string like "4". That comparison is effectively indeterminate. (there
are rules for it, but they vary by both version and implementation, so
it's better to always make sure you have the same type on both sides of
the comparison operator.
