an else statement is running when it shouldnt be. It is on the last line. Whenever i am in the math or game function, when i type in main, it goes back to the start of the program, but it also says not a valid function. I am stumped!
Here is my code:
#Cmd 
#Created By Eli M.
#import modules
import random
import math
gtn = 0
print ("Type in help for a list of cmd functions")
#initiate main loop
cmd = 0
while cmd == 0:
#ask for input on function
    function = raw_input("Type in a function:")
    #start math loop
    if function == "math":
        run = 0
        while run == 0:
            #ask for math operation
            type = raw_input("What math operation do you want to use?")
            if type == "multiplication":
                x = raw_input("Type in your first number:")
                y = raw_input("Multiply your first number by:")
                try:
                    ans = int(x) * int(y)
                    print (ans)
                    try:
