Why am I returning wehn all my if statements are false?

[charred lichen]

return function(type : nodeTypes, node) : nodeActions
    print(type == "Start")
    print(type == "End")
    print(type == "Response")

    if type == "Start" or "End" or "Response" then 
        print("returning") 
        return {} 
    end
    
    print(functionMaps[type](node))
    return functionMaps[type](node)
end

The printstatements are in the image provided

lowkey i will think this is correct too 💀

[thorny violet]

you see the mistake rightt

[wind parcel]

hell no

maybe just the syntax problem

[thorny violet]

Or type == 'End'
Isn't same as
Or "End"

[wind parcel]

yea ig

syntax problem

[charred lichen]

type == "Start" or "End" or "Response" isn't the same as type == "Start" or type == "End" or type == "Response" its not abt syntax but more about logic i guess @wind parcel

[wind parcel]
