Cannot get rid of elif invalid syntax in python

Question

def func(val):
    num = int(input("Enter a number:"))
    if num>val: 
        print ("Too high!")
    return 1
    elif num: 
        print ("Too low!")
    return -1
    else: 
        print ("Got it!!")
    return 0
        ch=1
    while(ch!=0): 
        ch=func(15)

I keep getting the error: "elif num: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax" Is it simply a formatting issue that is causing this error message? or my code?

All your returns are incorrectly indented.

return statements should be indented

def func(val):
    num = int(input("Enter a number:"))
    if num>val: 
        print ("Too high!")
        return 1
    elif num: 
        print ("Too low!")
        return -1
    else: 
        print ("Got it!!")
        return 0
        ch=1
    while(ch!=0): 
        ch=func(15)

Thank you! I can get it to run now, but there is no output to ask me to enter a number?
