It is kind of hard to tell without you using the

 tags, for formatting purposes... The following works fine for me:

def mm(var):
    if var==200:
        print "I am madan"
        print ""
    else:
        print "I am nothing"
        print ""

mm(200)

One of the first things you need to know about python is that indentation is everything.

That is how it keeps track of your if blocks, etc.

That is why Lucas's re-write works for him.
