Weird behaviour using if statement in python 3.10.8

[deanhystad]

What do you mean by "The same behavior occurs in both terminal and VSCode." You demonstrated the VSCode behavior using a screenshot of a debugging session. You cannot see that when running your code from the terminal. Or do you mean that running the code from the VSCode terminal behaves the same as running the code from Ubuntu terminal?

Could you post the code? I'm interested to see if it does the same thing on my machine.
