Booleans and If statements

Question

i had been trying this :

num = 7
if num ==7:
print("num" =="7")
the output is : False

but if i make this :

num = 7
if num ==7:
print("7" =="7")
the output is : True

and my question is why?

Answer 1

Because the first statement compares the string "num", not the value of the variable num.

Answer 2

You should remove the second and third quote because you want everything in the print function to be one string.

Try print("num == 7")

It reads your version as a question. Like "Hey code, tell me if the string 'num' is exactly the same as the string '7'. Then it will print false

Another example: if you say print("num" + "7") it will print out "num7"

Answer 3

7 is an integer and "7" is an string

7 == "7"
:False

nums = "7"
print (nums == "7")
output: True
