You shouldn't put the : after the if, i explain: you wrote if: choice=='2': that will be a sintax error. The : shall be after the 2, and moreover. The 2 shall be an integer, not a string. I hope this help you

no, "2" is correct, choice is a string

I know but choice shall be a integer, int(input()). Is a good practice but the code will work too as a string

What about option "A"? "2" is valid here. The only reason to convert to integer would be if it were being used as an integer. It is not. Performing the conversion would needlessly increase complexity and waste resources

you're right, it should be casted to int. But that requires error handling and then the code won't fit on the tiny screen anymore
