Thank you for any help, Jag
Please post your code the way you're going to run it, like one statement
per line, indented as required, etc.
Your problem is you're comparing an int (number) to a list (green_number
or red_number or black_number). They'll never be equal so it won't
print anything.
presumably you don't want to know if the number is equal to the list,
but whether it's in the list. The "in" operator will tell you that.
Something like:
if number in green_numbers:
(I changed it to plural, so it'd be more obvious that it's not a single
value, but a list of them. Little things like that can make errors much
easier to spot.)
