(Beginners Python) Creating if/else statements dependent on user input?

Vote count:

0

I'm new to Python (And programming in general) so this may be a rather simple issue to resolve.

I'm trying to create a simple script that will will ask a question to which the user will input an answer (Or a prompt with selectable answers could appear?), and the program would output a response based on the input.

For example, if I were to say

prompt1=input('Can I make this stupid thing work?')

I would have something along the lines of

if prompt1='yes':

   print('Hooray, I can!')

else prompt1='No':

   print('Well I did anyway!')

elif prompt1=#an answer that wouldn't be yes or no

   #repeat prompt1

I'm probably going about this the wrong way. Please be as descriptive as possible as this is a learning exercise for me. Thanks in advance!
