Final answer:

The syntax error is due to using a condition with an 'else' statement. In Python, 'else' does not take a condition, and 'elif' should be used for additional conditions following an 'if' statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The issue you're encountering is due to a syntax error in your Python code. In Python, the else statement does not take a condition. When you write an if statement and need to check another condition if the first one fails, you should use elif instead. The else statement should only be used as a final option when none of the conditions specified in the if and elif blocks are met.

Here's an example of how the correct syntax should look:

if x > 200:
# Your code here
elif x < 200:
# Your code here
else:
# Your code here

Notice there is no condition next to the else and any additional conditions should be placed within elif statements, not else.
