Does it matter if the words are in upper or lower case?

Question

if answer == "yes"
elsif answer == "no"
In codes like the ones above does it matter the case that I put the words in? For example, if I leave this code the way it is and the user inputs Yes istead of yes will the code still work?

Answer 1

You can try this:

if answer.upcase == "YES"
elsif answer.upcase == "NO"

this way answer 'becomes' case insensitive
