Having a Python if statement syntax error [duplicate]

Question

I'm currently working on some python code but its giving me a syntax error in the second 'if statement'. When I run it, it highlights quadpos. What seems to be the problem?

print(' Hello, press enter to continue')

print('What is your A value?')      # Asking for the A value
myA = input()
myA = int(myA)
print('What is your B value?')      # Asking for the B value
myB = input()
myB = int(myB)
print('What is your C value?')      # Asking for the C value
myC = input()
myC = int(myC)

quad = ((myB * myB) - (4 * myA * myC))
if int(quad) < int(0):
   print('Cannot process Value')
else:
   quad2 = (int(quad)**(1/2.0))
   if int(myA) > int(0):
       quadneg = ((int(-myB) - int(quad2)) / (2 * myA) 
       quadpos = ((int(-myB) + int(quad2)) / (2 * myA)
       print(int(quadneg))
       print(int(quadpos))
   else:
          quad3 = ((int(-myB) * int(-myB)) + int(quad2)) / (2 * myA) 
          print (int(quad3))

The error is in the line 21 and 22 according to your attached picture

print( int( quardneg) )
print( int(quardpos) )

followed by else statement

The syntax of if else statements are :

If condition:
     Code...
Else 
    Code ..

You are doing:

 If condition:
     Code
 Code -- Error is here
 Else 
     Code.

You can't put the code in the same indentation of if statement, if you do so then you have to replace else by next if.

It seems to be giving me the syntax error in the line 20. Even after the indentation has been fixed.

You seem to have a missing bracket.

quadneg = ( (int(-myB) - int(quad2)) / (2 * myA) )
quadpos = ( (int(-myB) + int(quad2)) / (2 * myA) )
