I take it you are using Python 3.x . If that's not the case, take a look
at raw_input().
def NOS():
if user_input1 == "String" or user_input1 == "string" or user_input1 == "STRING" or user_input1 ==
"s" or user_input1 == "S" or user_input1 == "str":
print("a")
What if you create a list containing these, and then you check if the
user_input is contained in that list. But before that, get the
lower-case of it so you don't deal with String sTring string, s, S, etc...
Something like this
You add this to the variables you are using section
string_list = ['string', 's']
When you want to check the check
if user_input.lower() in string_list:
{your_code_here}
elif user_input1 == "Number" or user_input1 == "number" or user_input1 == "NUMBER" or user_input1 == "N"
or user_input1 == "N" or user_input1 == "int" or user_input1 == "num":
print("a")
Same goes with that
But some questions:
1 - Why does the user have to specify that, why doesn't the program
itself tell if it is a string or a number ? You just give it the data
and it's up to him to tell.
2 - What is it you are trying to accomplish: Maybe there are shortcuts
or better ways to do things.
