string - Python does not skip "if [strg] or [strg] in variable" -
this question has answer here:
i'm writing simple text-based game in python 2.7. in code below, if user answers different "run" or "nothing," arrested()
function still kicks in. i'm pretty sure problem in line of code:
if "run" or "nothing" in answer:
because if provide 1 string, follows:
if "run" in answer:
the program runs beautifully, calling remote_spot()
if answer not contain "run". whole code following:
def facing_cops(): print "there several cars might serve stake-outs cops. do?" answer = raw_input("> ") if "run" or "nothing" in answer: arrested("cops got suspicious. arrested, along drug dealer.") else: remote_spot()
what think matter?
thanks,
chris
the operator 'in' has priority on 'or' you're testing if "run" or ("nothing" in answer)
. if have two, can write:
if "run" in answer or "nothing" in answer:
if ever have more keywords test 2, things bit long write , go option:
keywords = ["run","nothing","otherkeyword"] if any(keyword in answer keyword in keywords):
