why does this if-statement not work? - sandeen - Nov-15-2019
Hello, I am the biggest noob in this forum probably, so my first question is why this simple if-statement allways
accepts the first if-statement regardless of what i put in to the 'unit' variable?
weight = float(input(f'Weight: '))
unit = input('[L]bs or [K]g: ').lower()
if unit == 'k' or 'kg':
print(f'weight is {weight / 0.45} pounds')
elif unit == 'l' or 'lbs':
print(f'weight is {weight * 0.45} kg')
else:
print('Invalid unit of measurement')thx
