Hey @wheat fjord!

It looks like you incorrectly specified a language for your code block.

Make sure you put your code on a new line following py. There must not be any spaces after py.

Here is an example of how it should look:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

The or-gotcha

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

What I mean is

Steve_rider_={'First_ Name':'steven','last_name':'universe','sex':'Male'}
 
User_search=input("[search]:")
Print("here is the results of",{User_search})

@vast schooner

Sorry I forgot the person different from the last name

What do you think can be changed?

@vast schooner what do you think

[split iron]

Did you fix the or issue they mentioned?

The help panel they showed explains the problem.

[wheat fjord]

I see but what I mean is take the Name: and if it's an input of that type of search part of the engine it brings up names only the names like Prince every name and that's in many different definitions sorry

@vast schooner thank you

If you want to be able to look up people by their name, you need to put those dictionaries in another dictionary keyed by the thing you want to look up with (their full name). So, something like:

!e

# I'd get rid of your existing "People" variable since that information can be taken from here
people = {
    'jack rider': {'fullname':'jack rider','sex':'Male','Family':'jennifer rider sister','work phone':'(203)-688-2923','personal phone':'(203)-555-0296'},
    'jennifer': {'fullname':'jennifer','sex':'female','Family':'jennifer rider sister','work phone':'(203)-688-2923','personal phone':'(203)-555-0296'}
}

print(*people.keys())

# Pretend this uses 'input'
person_search = 'jennifer'
print(people[person_search])

001 | jack rider jennifer
002 | {'fullname': 'jennifer', 'sex': 'female', 'Family': 'jennifer rider sister', 'work phone': '(203)-688-2923', 'personal phone': '(203)-555-0296'}
