if 'no' or 'No':

This will always eval to True

if 'yes' or 'Yes' in yda:
#

This will always be true as well

#

It's better to ask, why those two always evaluate to true

#

You know that a non-empty true has a true truth value right?

#

Okay so this is what's happening ```py
if 'no' or 'No' <==> if ("no") or ("No") <==> if (True or True) <==> if True

if 'yes' or 'Yes' in yda <==> if ("yes") or ("Yes" in yda) <==> if (True) or (?) <==> if (True or ?) <==> if True

#

Do you see how both condition s are always true

#

Similar thing with if exist_usr_nm and exist_usr_ps in data_collect:

#

That is evaluating exist_usr_nm and exist_usr_ps in data_collect seperately and then putting them together

#

Which I doubt is what you want

#

In English, if you want to do if X or Y in Z, you can't do it directly like that in python

#

Instead something like if X in Z or Y in Z is needed

#

Because you check if X is in Z and Y is in Z seperately

#

Then check if at least one of those conditions is true

#

Similar thing with and

#

if X in Z and Y in Z

It depends on what you mean by "end everything". Do you mind elaborating what you mean by "everything"?
