🔒 PYTHON IF STATEMENT BROKEN???

[silver silo]

I'm trying to make this code print(True) if the username and password given matches the admin list.

# Admin list format = ["name1", "password1", "name2", "password2"...]
admin = ["CalvinSup", "LynnGoated", "DavidLynn", "CalvinBestStudent"]

isAdmin = False

username = "CalvinSup"
password = "LynnGoated"

for i in range(0, len(admin), 2):

    print(i)
    print(i+1)
    print(admin[i])
    print(admin[i+1])
    if (username == admin[i]) and (password == admin[i+1]):
        isAdmin == True

if isAdmin:
    print(True)

elif not isAdmin:
    print(False)

But it didn't work cuz here's the output, I even added print(i), print(i+1), etc... to check the values

Here's the full output:

0
1
CalvinSup
LynnGoated
2
3
DavidLynn
CalvinBestStudent
False

As you can see it didn't work cuz it returned False, is there some logical error?

[shut blaze]

definitely a logic error

that elif is confusing

[silver silo]

howwwww

[shut blaze]

why not just else

[silver silo]

because in the main code, I have other conditions asw

[shut blaze]

if isAdmin:
  print("Admin is in")
else:
  print("Admin is not in")

ok

[silver silo]

its' still false

[shut blaze]

Is the password just another admin's username?

[silver silo]

the problem is that the first if loop didn't execute

[silver silo]

so the list format is like thhis:

["name1", "password1", "name2", "password2"...]

the odd number index is the admin's name, the even number index is the admin's PW

[shut blaze]

Strange way to arrange it

Why not dict?

[marsh sphinx]

isAdmin = True

[silver silo]

cuz idk how to use a dict

[silver silo]

but by default it should be false

[shut blaze]

Yeah that should fix it

[silver silo]

wait why?

[shut blaze]

Notice that == vs =

line 16

[marsh sphinx]

you reassign the variable by var = value
you are using == which is a comparision operator

[silver silo]

oh hell nah

I'm really sorry @marsh sphinx and @shut blaze

for bothering u

I'm sorry

[shut blaze]

its fine

[silver silo]

I made a silly mistake

[marsh sphinx]

chill

[silver silo]

but thank u man

[shut blaze]

it happens to all of us

[silver silo]

thank u sir
