im build a script with python in linux.the python version:2.7

idk know why raw_input is defined in here,
but when i input that 'y' its print 'its working'.but when i input 'n' its print ' its working' too.im tried

if (tanyatb!=("y")or("Y")):
and
if not(tanyatb==("y")or("Y")):

then im input 'n' , 'its working'.how to print 'not working'?

Answer 1

There are a a few errors here

you don't need to convert raw_input to a string

tanyatb = raw_input("do u know how many that? Y/N ")

will work fine

You also don't need brackets in your if statement

if tanyatb.lower() == "y":
print("it's working")
else:
print("it's not working")
