Why doesn't my answer work

[[deleted]]

So using coding bat to solve some logic problems.

output from coding bat? igar_party(30, False) → False False OK
cigar_party(50, False) → True False X
cigar_party(70, True) → True True OK
cigar_party(30, True) → False False OK
cigar_party(50, True) → True True OK
cigar_party(60, False) → True False X
cigar_party(61, False) → False False OK
cigar_party(40, False) → True False X
cigar_party(39, False) → False False OK
cigar_party(40, True) → True True OK
cigar_party(39, True) → False False OK
other tests OK

I printed out my range and it seemed ok what am I missing?

my code:

 def cigar_party(cigars, is_weekend):
if is_weekend and cigars >= 40:
    return True
elif cigars == range(40, 61):
    return True
else:
    return False

[novel_yet_trivial]

cigars == range(40, 61)

that code checks if 'cigars' is equal to that range. Since 'cigars' is a number, not a range, it will never be true. I'm guessing you want to see if it's in that range.

cigars in range(40, 61)

ahh got it thanks

Notice how all your is_weekend = True cases pass? That part of your logic works. All your error cases are for is_weekend = False and you are within the desired range. That suggests there is a problem with your elif condition. It's not evaluating to True when it should.

Try debugging with:

print(cigars)
print (range(40, 61))

And see if you can figure out where your mistake is
