Need help on a single line of code

-----------------------------------

for some reason i cannot run my program if i input "no" into the first field. if i put "yes" it works fine but i can't seem to get it to work with "no" here's my code:

var answer : string
var serve : string
var gender : string
var lastname : string
locate (12, 22)
put "My name is Jeeves. I am your personal butler"
delay (2000)
cls
locate (12, 30)
put "Can I ask you a few questions?"
locate (13, 39)
get answer
cls
if answer = "yes"
        then
    put "what is your lastname?"
    get lastname
    cls
    put "What is your gender?"
    get gender
    cls
    if gender = "male"
            then
        put "Hello Mr. ", lastname
        put "how may I be of service?"
        get serve
        put "yes, Sir, right away Sir, i will get ", serve
        put "at once"
    end if

    if gender = "female"
            then
        put "Hello Mrs. ", lastname
        put "how may I be of service?"
        get serve
        put "yes, Madam, right away Madam, i will get ", serve
        put "at once"
    end if

if answer = "no"
            then
        put "Why not? Do you not want to have your own personal butler?"
    end if
end if

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks :) Code Here

Because your if statement to check if they said no is inside the if statement to check if they said yes.

EDIT: it helps to press F2 while in turing it will show the if statements as indents and you can see where you problem is

You could put 
if answer not = "yes" and answer not = "no" then


but you should use 
if answer = "yes then
elsif answer = "no" then
else
%whatever
end if
