What is wrong here?

print "Please enter your name that you want to see backwards: "
name = gets.chomp
if name == "Sebastian"
  puts name.reverse 
else
  puts name.reverse
elsif name == "Leo"  
  puts "Cool name"
end

it always says. syntax error, unexpected keyword_elsif, expecting keyword_end

Else closes the If statement. The elsif has to be before it.

Hi Sebastian Giliberto !

You'll need to make sure that you use your "else" statement last. That should help!
