🔒 skipping or not doing if/elif statements

[oak chasm]

I am trying to have a user (me) enter specfic data points and it spew out what those data points are based on specific criteria
No matter what I answer the first input with (online or irl are the two answers) it skips over either the last if/elif statement if i say irl, or both the first and last if/elif statement if i say online. please help me figure out where i messed up (I"m stil very new and appreciate this)

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

for example if i answer the first question "online" it doesnt set the Event_level to "No" and instead just goes straaight to the Yes option

it seems the problem lies in the elif i set up for Event_level Y/N and idk what i did wrong

if Event_level == "Y" or "Yes":

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.")

This is a common mistake ☝️

oh okay gotcha

[west steeple]

!e you can see here

Event_level = "No"
print(bool(Event_level == "Y" or "Yes"))
