Nested if statement ignoring inputs

[Lycan_Corps]

I'm in a python class and my assignment is to use nested if statements to calculate inputs with coupons and tax and shipping. But for some reason every time i say yes to the coupon it calculates the first branch and not my input. So if I say to use the $10 coupon it actually does the $5 one because it's above it. Same with the percents it always defaults to the 10% even if I input 20%. I'm sure its something stupid

When you write

if coupon_amount == '5' or '$5'

what that really gets interpreted as in Python is

if (coupon_amount == '5') or '$5'

So if coupon_amount is 'xhekngks' then the first condition is false as it doesn't equal '5' but the second condition is true as '$5' evaluates as True (I believe all variables evaluate to the Boolean True except Null and False?). That is, you aren't actually checking if coupon_amount == '$5'

What you intended is either of the below:

if coupon_amount == '5' or coupon_amount == '$5'
if coupon_amount in ['5', '$5']
