[reef wharf]

I need it to output (You do not qualify for the 100% discount. Please return when you have a become a fan of the greatest movie franchise of all time >:(! ") when i input my age 19 and when i type false.

no_membership = False
is_membership = True
age = int(input(" What is your age? "))
membership_status = bool(input(" Are you a member of the Planet of The Apes Fanclub? Enter True for yes or False for No. "))

if is_membership == True and age >= 18:
print(" Thank you for being a member of the fanclub, your discount is 100%! ")
elif age < 18:
print(" Sorry you do not qualify for the 100% discount. Please come back when you are 18 years of age or older! ")
elif no_membership == False and age >= 18:
print(" You do not qualify for the 100% discount. Please return when you have a become a fan of the greatest movie franchise of all time >:(! ")

!e print(bool("false"))

True

[small yacht]

The string "false" is not converted to the boolean False. Rather, a non-empty string (everything except "") is "truthy", and evaluates to True.

You would need to actually check the value of that string in order to get False correctly.

Although you also have three different variables, no_membership, is_membership, and membership_status. Only the last one is being changed by the input; no_membership will always be False in the above example, and is_membership will always be True.

You may need to choose exactly what you want to do with that input and whether the other values are needed.
