"Syntax error example driving me nuts—what’s the fix?"

Hey everyone,

So I’m stuck on this *syntax error example* in my code, and it’s legit driving me crazy. 😅

Here’s the line:
```python
if x = 5:
```
Error says "invalid syntax," but like... why? I’m pretty sure I’m missing something obvious.

Anyone got a sec to help a noob out? Is it the equals sign? Do I need double equals or something?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

(Also, if you’ve got other *syntax error example* horror stories, share ‘em—misery loves company lol.)
