About if statement

Question

President1="George Washington"
President2="george washington"
Ans=input()
if Ans==President1 or President2:
print("correct")
else:
print("incorrect")

I know there is a problem with the code.It works well if I dont use "or" and give second condition with "elif". But I want to know whats the reason?Which logical error is happening?

Answer 1

The error is in the comparison. In your code python will do
if Ans==True: because President1 or President2 == True
This way as long as the input is not None, "correct" will print.

It should be:
if Ans==President1 or Ans==President2

Or:

If Ans in (President1, President2):
#do something

Or:
If Ans.lower() == President2:
#do something

Happy Coding 😀

Answer 2

It should work...check what you input again :)
