Hi,
Could you please tell me why this isn't working and how can I make it
possible...
Consider this code..
name = raw_input("Enter your first name: ")
if name[0] == ("m" or "f" or "b") :
rhyme = name[1:]
What I want here is.. If the name starts with 'm' or 'f' or 'b', The
first letter should be removed.
But this isn't happening here.
Hugh answered your question.
I add - let's analyze name[0] == ("m" or "f" or "b")
"m" or "f" or "b" gets evaluated first. The result is "m" (the first
non-false value)
then name[0] == "m" gets evaluated, which may be true or false.
the shortest way is name[0] in "mfb"
