Help for newbie with if/else statement that has or statement - Shevach - May-08-2019
Hello there,
I'm trying make a simple code (to practice for loops and if/elif statements) to give a person 3 choices of what kind of book he is looking for. He can do this three times (attempt).
My problem is that no matter what I enter 1.,2. or 3 it returns "you picked Non fiction.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
(after trying to figure out myself the problem for about a half an hour it is quite aggravating)
Thank you very much
Shevach
for attempt in range (3):
print('What kind of book are you looking for?')
print('1. Non fiction')
print('2. Fiction')
print('3. Text book')
type=input()
if type=='1'or 'Non fiction':
print('You picked Non fiction')
elif type=='2'or'Fiction':
print('you picked Fiction')
elif type== '3' or 'Text book':
print('you picked Text book')
else:
print('Try again')
