Pls explain me the logic .why the output is male

Question

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

Answer 1

AMAN TOMAR Don't use if sex=='M' or 'm' because that will always evaluate to True. 'm' as a non-empty string is true, so the whole expression is true.

if sex=='M' or sex=='m' checks if sex is either 'M' or 'm'

Answer 2

if sex=='M' or sex=='m'

Or:

if sex.lower() == 'm'

Answer 3

(sex=="M" or "m") return "m", not false
