[split] Help with my coding

[happy_nutella]

material = input("What material is it? ")
length = float(input("What is its length in cm? "))
# Plastic goes into recycling bin. 
if material == "plastic" == length < 7.5:
    waste_type = "trash"
if material == "plastic" == length > 7.5:
    waste_type = "recycling" 
# Anything else goes into trash can.
if material != "plastic":
    waste_type = "trash"
# Result. 

print("Please deposit your item in the " + waste_type + " bin.")

So in this code, I need to classify all plastic with a length of less than 7.5cm as trash. How do I do that? Sorry for bothering y'all but I'm a noob lol.

Your problem is with the if statements. You are thinking they are testing something they are not. Given that this looks suspiciously like homework not giving the complete solution.

And, of course, what if the length is exactly 7.5?
