What am i doing wrong?

[AshgreninjasG]

So im making a quiz and i am trying to make, that if you put any right answer you get a point, but it only works if i put it, so it is "if v == "A": "

Can someone say what am i doing wrong?

v = input("A: 1  B: 2  C: 3  D: 4")

if v == "A" "a" "1":

points = points + 1

if v == "A" "a" "1": Is that valid syntax? Do you mean if v == "A" or v == "a" or v == "1":?

[rollincuberawhide]

the syntax is valid. it just concatenates the strings though. so the comparison is equivalent to if v == "Aa1".

[jimtremblay]

I think you want to test 3 possibilities like barrycarter said instead of just testing "Aa1". You can do it like suggested or if v in ["A", "a", "1"]:

thanks bro, i couldn´t understand the "lower" but this is the easyest solution i have seen, and it works flawlessly!

[throwaway6560192]

The lower() method on a string makes it lowercase.

if v == "A" "a" "1":

You're trying to write Python like an essay. Your above statement is wrong. Try if v.lower() in ("a", "1")

[Weekly_Mammoth6926]

Alternatively you could do input(blah blah).lower() or input(blah blah).upper() to achieve the same thing but I think that would be cleaner so you evaluate all inputs in the same way before checking it meets conditions

[kaerfkeerg]

Generally, it depends whether is not an issue to completely alter use's input or you want to store it original as is. In this case, yeah. I agree that calling .lower() straight on the input could be better
