Do iIuse if or elif???? | Smarter Dev | Page 1

#

delivery = input("Would you like this delivered? - ")
if delivery == "N" or "No":
if delivery == "Y" or "Yes":
input("Please type your address!: ")

(Im trying to make it so, if they type "Y", the code asks for its address, but if it chooses "N" it breaks and moves on. Kind of confused here XD

Could you use a codeblock so the indentation shows up as well?

Code Formatting

When sharing code with the community, please use the correct formatting for ease of readability.

Example

```py
YOUR CODE HERE
```

Those are back ticks not single quotes, typically the key above TAB

#

delivery = input("Would you like this delivered? - ")
if delivery == "N" or "No":
  if delivery == "Y" or "Yes":
    input("Please type your address!: ")

#

Yeah, you'd unindent the second if statement to be at the same level as the first one, and make it into an elif

#

!exec

delivery = input("Would you like this delivered? - ")
if delivery == "N" or "No":
  if delivery == "Y" or "Yes":
    address = input("Please type your address!: ")
    print(address)

N
Y
Something

red osprey !exec ```py delivery = input("Would you like this delivered? - ") if delivery ==...

@red osprey

✅ Exec - Success (Super User 🦸)

Would you like this delivered? - N
Please type your address!: Y
Y

ahh got it thanks!

red osprey Jan 13, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

Oh

#

And

#

if delivery == "N" or "No": extended is this:

if delivery == "N" or "No" != None:

#

So, basically it's these two statements:
if delivery == "N":
if "No" != None:

errant crest Jan 13, 2023, 2:23 AM

#

Ohh okay

red osprey Jan 13, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

You'd use if delivery == "N" or delivery == "No":

#

!eval "No" != None

topaz talonBOT Jan 13, 2023, 2:24 AM

#

red osprey !eval "No" != None

✅ Eval - Success

>>> "No" != None
True

red osprey Jan 13, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

So having just "No" or "Yes" after the or means those statements will always run

errant crest Jan 13, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

OH OHOH

#

Now i get it

red osprey Jan 13, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

The syntax is if statement1 OR statement2:

#

"No" string will never be None, so it'll always run

errant crest Jan 13, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

alrighty

red osprey Jan 13, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

You could also use if delivery in list: for the statements if you don't want to make long lines

#

And set the list to be a list containing "N", "No"

#

Or "Y", "Yes"

errant crest Jan 13, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

Okok

errant crest Jan 13, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

while True:
  if delivery == "Y":
        address = input("Please type your address!: ")
  break

#

For this one, is it the same?

#

Because when I tried running it and entering "Y", it repeats its self

#

#

errant crest ```py while True: if delivery == "Y": address = input("Please type you...

that is because "delivery" didn't = "Y" which is why it kept reiterating the loop

#

delivery has to = "Y" for the user to be asked to input a address

#Do iIuse if or elif????
