Using Streamlit

Summary

Share a clear and concise description of the issue. Aim for 2-3 sentences.
I am trying to use the conditional if structure but the code returns invalid syntax.

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

add code here
```st.sidebar.header('Enter Details')
CIF_USD = st.sidebar.number_input ('Enter CIF in USD', value=0)
cc = ['1500cc and below', 'Above 1500cc']
car = st.sidebar.selectbox('Engine size', cc)
st.sidebar.write('1USD = 128 KES')
FX = 128
CIF_KES = CIF_USD * FX
st.sidebar.write('CIF in KES :    ' + str(CIF_KES))

#..excise duty.....
a=0.20
b=0.25
def excise_duty():
    if car = Above 1500cc:
        return CIF_KES*b
    else:
        return CIF_KES*a
excise_duty

If applicable, please provide the steps we should take to reproduce the error or specified behavior.

**Expected behavior:**

Explain what you expect to happen when you run the code above.
I expect the code to return excise duty of 20% of the CIF if the vehicle is 1500cc and below and 25% if the vehicle is 1800cc and above
**Actual behavior:**

Explain the undesired behavior or error you see when you run the code above.

Hi @Dennis, have you tried looking up the correct syntax for python if statements? For example, 4. More Control Flow Tools — Python 3.11.1 documentation
