A python doubt

Question

sex = "F"
if sex == "M" or "m":
print("Male")
else:
print("Female")

This prints Male How it is possible

Answer 1

QUANTUMSPARK1 In python, strings are always evaluated true except empty string :)

Answer 2

Because you're not comparing "m" to anything, therefore it is naturally a true expression.
Your code needs to be like this,

sex = "F"
if sex == "M" or sex == "m":
print("Male")
else:
print("Female")

Answer 3

Simba Not only string even if you write number or float value in if statement it will evaluate true.

if 10: // true
print (11)
else:
print (12)

Answer 4

Simba I Am AJ ! Thank u

Answer 5

Simba That's right but why python considers "m" as True and executes the condition for if statement
