On the elif section question.

Question

On the elif playground there are 3 boxes for 3 different colors.
Box 1 is red
Box 2 is green
Box 3 is black

You're supposed to write elif statements to output the number box it goes into. I've tried this several different times using color variables, strings, and I can't get it. What am I doing wrong?

A code I've tried...----

color = input()
if color == 2:
print("2")
elif color == 3:
print("3")
elif color == 1:
print("1")
else:
print("this message")

Answer 1

You're comparing a string to an integer, I am assuming your input is an integer...

Try this

color=int(input())

Or

if color=="2":

Either option should make your code work. You need to compare like objects... apples to apples, orange to oranges. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Amazing. I figured it out. "Comparing like objects" made it click for me, thanks!

Code spoiler below vvvv
#this is the answer.

color = input()

if color == 'red':
print(1)
elif color == 'green':
print(2)
elif color == 'black':
print(3)

Use colours to equate or use the int no mistakes no more
