IF statement trouble

[eoins]

Hi, I am fairly new to python and coding in general. I was trying to practice a bit by making a cook book sort of thing and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Every time I run the code and enter the raw_input, I only get the response under the "chicken Parmesan" section of the if statement, even if I type "buttcheeks" as the raw input. Help pls! Code is below:

def cook_book():
  meal = raw_input("What meal would you like to cook?")
  if meal == 'Chicken Parmesan' or 'Chicken Parm': 
    print "Ingredients: " + str(ingredients_and_recipes['Chicken Parmesan'][0])
    print "Instructions: " + str(ingredients_and_recipes['Chicken Parmesan'][1]) 
  elif meal == 'Crepes' or 'Crepe':
    print "Ingredients: " + str(ingredients_and_recipes['Crepes'][0])
    print "Instructions: " + str(ingredients_and_recipes['Crepes'][1])
  else:
    print "Sorry. That is not in Eoin's Cook Book"

Thanks so much!

I can only get one outcome from this if statement. Even if the value of total_cost_car_gas is larger than budget_car_and_gas, the code will still run the difference_under operation and print the things in that section of the if statement. Is there something wrong with how I constructed the IF statement?

def bool_one(budget_car_and_gas):
  total_cost_car_gas = cost_of_car_1(days_car_1) + cost_of_gas(distance_travelling)
  if total_cost_car_gas > budget_car_and_gas :
    difference_over = float(total_cost_car_gas) - float(budget_car_and_gas)
    print "It seems you are $%s NZ over your budget." % (difference_over)
  elif total_cost_car_gas == budget_car_and_gas :
    print "Whew! You are exactly on your budget!"
  elif total_cost_car_gas < budget_car_and_gas :
    difference_under = float(budget_car_and_gas) - float(total_cost_car_gas)
    print "Yay! You are $%s NZ under your budget!" % (difference_under)

can you post your full code, we need runnable snippet
Also show us the values to reproduce the problem

[eoins]

If I make the values of the inputs such that total_cost_car_gas is greater than budget_car_gas (For example if the inputs are 11, 40, 2.99, 800, 200, 30, 20, 5), I still get the result that I would if total_cost_car_gas was less than budget_car_gas. Here is the full code:

#Know the following things for helpful travel distances/gasprices:
#Kilometers per Liter of the car
#How many liters of petrol the car can hold
#Price of petrol
#How far you want to travel in KILOMETERS

  return miles

def bool_one(budget_car_and_gas):
  total_cost_car_gas = cost_of_car_1(days_car_1) + cost_of_gas(distance_travelling)
  if total_cost_car_gas > budget_car_and_gas :
    difference_over = float(total_cost_car_gas) - float(budget_car_and_gas)
    print "It seems you are $%s NZ over your budget." % (difference_over)
  elif total_cost_car_gas == budget_car_and_gas :

[buran]

you are comparing a float (i.e. total_cost_car_gas) with a str (i.e. budget_car_and_gas)
