I am working on some basic programming homework, a calculator. The code is below.
I would like for the user to be able to input / or \ for division. However, the code below does not work. If I remove the or "\\", the program runs fine. Any guidance is appreciated!

print("Acceptable operators include *, /, \, +, -") math_num1 = input("Please enter the first number: ") math_oper = input("Please enter the operator: ") math_num2 = input("Please enter the second number: ") if math_oper == "*": print(int(math_num1) * int(math_num2)) elif math_oper == "/" or "\\": print(int(math_num1) / int(math_num2)) elif math_oper == "+": print(int(math_num1) + int(math_num2)) elif math_oper == "-": print(int(math_num1) - int(math_num2)) else: print("Invalid Input! Please try again.")
