I am a total beginner working on an introductory python class but I am getting syntax errors every time I make an if statement. Can anyone help with this? Here is my code:

def report_size(n: int) -> str:
    """Return 'small' if n is between 0 and 20 inclusive,
    'medium' if n is between 21 and 40 inclusive,
    and 'large' if n is 41 or greater.
    
    Precondition: n >= 0
    
    >>> report_size(4)
    'small'
    >>> report_size(24)
    'medium'
    >>> report_size(45)
    'large'
    """
    If n <= 20:
        return 'small"
    elif 20< n <= 40:
        return 'medium"
    else:
        return 'large'

Answer 1

if should not be capitalized.

Also, the apostrophes you use for strings are inconsistent. If you open a string with ' you have to close with ' and if you open with " you should close the string with " .
