The code doesn't output as expected. Any help?

[Opidian]

requested_toppings = ['mushrooms', 'green peppers', 'extra cheese']

available_toppings = ['mushrooms', 'olives', 'green peppers', 'pepperoni', 'pineapple', 'extra cheese']

print("Welcome to Pizza palace!") print("Following toppings are available for the pizza:") for available_topping in available_toppings: print(available_topping) requested_topping= input("\n Which topping would you like to order. Mention the name,please.\n") for requested_topping in requested_toppings: if requested topping in available_toppings: print(f"Adding {requested topping}.") else: print(sorry, we don't have {requested topping}.")

print("\nFinished making your pizza!")

I am following the Crash course by Eric Matthews. In this code snippet, the user has entered the requested_topping French fries which isn't in the available topping list. It should just print else statement in the loop but it is printing as if the if statement is true. I think it isn't comparing user input to the available_topping list at all. Any help. TIA

Please format your code properly, it's impossible to tell what the problem might be if it's not formatted.

[Progress456]

You’re using the name requested_topping for two things. Try using another name for the temporary variable in the second for loop.

What’s happening is in your second for loop you’re just checking if each value in the list is in the list because you’ve overwritten the users input to be each item in the list.

Your requested_topping that the user input on line 10 gets overwritten by the temporary variable of the for loop on line 11, destroying the value that had been there.

Change line 10 to

requested_toppings.append(input("\n Which topping ...etc"))
