I\'ve written a small program in Python which determines if a person is 18 years

Question

I've written a small program in Python which determines if a person is 18 years or older and be able to vote. It also includes an additional statement for persons over the age of 64 years old.

My question is: I only want the (1) statement to appear after the user keys in the age for 64 or older. Presently 2 statements appear, I don't not both statements. What Python coding will make just the one statement appear exclusively for persons over 64 years old?

Python v3.2 Code Posted Here:

# This program calculates if a person is old enough to vote at age 18, in the year 2011.

Greeting1 = print ("Hello, lets determine if you're of legal voting age ...")

age = input("Type in your age number as of today, and press ENTER: ")
age = int(age)

result1 = (2011-age-1)
result2 = (2011-age-1)

# Statement for persons 64 years and older.
if result2 < 1947:
print ("You're a Senior Citizen .. you deserve 2 votes!")

# Statement for persons 18-63 years old.
if result1 < 1993:
print ("Yes - you're old enough to vote.")

# Statement for persons 17 years and younger.
else:
print ("No - you're just too young to vote right now.")

Explanation / Answer

You need to add the elif statement which is like else if meaning if the first stament is true then don't exicute the second statement

# This program calculates if a person is old enough to vote at age 18, in the year 2011.
# Written by - Richard Gatewood, September 27, 2011.

Greeting1 = print ("Hello, lets determine if you're of legal voting age ...")

age = input("Type in your age number as of today, and press ENTER: ")
age = int(age)

result1 = (2011-age-1)
result2 = (2011-age-1)

# Statement for persons 64 years and older.
if result2 < 1947:
print ("You're a Senior Citizen .. you deserve 2 votes!")

# Statement for persons 18-63 years old.
elif result1 < 1993:
print ("Yes - you're old enough to vote.")

# Statement for persons 17 years and younger.
else:
print ("No - you're just too young to vote right now.")
