Python tells me that my if statement contains a syntax error : <p>I was writing some code today, just a little script that takes up to three strings and messes around with them, reverses them, and puts them in different orders. When I try to run my code I get an invalid syntax error, but I don't really know why. </p>

<pre><code>ammount = int(input("How many strings would you like to input? 1, 2 or 3?")
# Getting user input
if ammount == 1:
    input1 = str(input("Please enter the first string"))
elif ammount == 2:
    user_input_1 = str(input("Please enter the first string"))
    user_input_2 = str(input("Please enter the second string"))
elif ammount == 3:
    user_input_1 = str(input("Please enter the first string"))
    user_input_2 = str(input("Please enter the second string"))
    user_input_3 = str(input("Please enter the third string"))
</code></pre>
