Python 3: how to compare multiple strings in one line of code?
Question:
I’m trying to make a category select (by text interface) in Python 3, and I was wondering how I can compare if multiple strings are not true, and then print something along the lines of “that is not a valid choice”
input("what is your category choice?")
if categoryChoice != "category1", "category 2", "category 3":
print("not a valid choice")
I don’t understand the syntax for having it check if any of category1, category2, category3, etc is true/false
Answers:
categoryChoice = input("what is your category choice?")
if categoryChoice not in ("category1", "category 2", "category 3"):
print("not a valid choice")
By the way, if you’re using Python 2, you should really use raw_input instead of input.
