Why doesn’t this code work

Question

import datetime
import os

class BOPA:
def __init__(self, des):
self.des = des

class Shutoffpcs(BOPA):
def ID(self):
os.system("shutdown/i")

class Date(BOPA):
def ID(self):
date_object = datetime.date.today()
print(date_object)

SOPCS = Shutoffpcs("1")
DATE = Date("3")

while True:
ip = input(": ")
if ip == "shutdown other pc" or "Shutdown other pc":
SOPCS.ID()
elif ip == "what is the date today" or "What is the date today":
DATE.ID()

This code keeps giving me the shutdown option when I’m trying to use the date one. Pls help

Answer 1

Try changing this

while True:
ip = input(": ")
if ip == "shutdown other pc" or "Shutdown other pc":
SOPCS.ID()
elif ip == "what is the date today" or "What is the date today":
DATE.ID()

To

while True:
ip = input(": ")
if ip == "shutdown other pc" or ip == "Shutdown other pc":
SOPCS.ID()
elif ip == "what is the date today" or ip == "What is the date today":
DATE.ID()

I think the problem is in the if-elif conditions.

When you want to check that a variable is one of several possible values, you can also use the 'in' operator

if var in ('this', 'that', 'something'):
