Why does this not work? x = input("") if x==potato: print("YOU SIR, ARE AMAZING") else: print("WHY...")

Question

x = input("")
if x==potato:
print("YOU SIR, ARE AMAZING")
else:
print("WHY...")

Answer 1

if x == "potato":

You want to compare the variable x with the String "potato".
What you do is comparing the variable x the the variable potato but there is non.

Answer 2

theres no variable called potato defined.. so its basically like if you were given a sheet of paper titled X and someone then comes to you and asks for you to compare a paper titled Potato to it but you don't have it so you frantically search for it but it doesn't exist

Answer 3

Thanks!
