Why does this elif_statement not work? - Placebo - Oct-06-2018
Hi!
My code:
feeling = input('How are you?\n')
if feeling.lower() == 'great':
print('I feel great too.')
elif feeling.lower == 'bad':
print('I hope the rest of your day will be good.')
else:
print('Take it easy!')and the output (please focus on the second execution)
Output:Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:06:47) [MSC v.1914 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

You need parentheses after the lower on line 4. You're comparing the input to the method, not the result of calling the method.

In line 4 you are not calling the lower method of a string. Instead you are comparing the string "bad" to the lower method. Instead you should use parentheses ( feeling.lower() ), like you did in line 2.

Omg, lol,
I have looked yesterday more than 10 times over the code, but just have overlooked it completely.
Thanks for quickly clearing it up^^
