else:

It's print: not good why?

Answer 1

Mohammad Faiz ,

a simple way to write this conditional statemenf would be:

...
if 'no' in lst or 'nobuddy' in lst: # i have used `lst` as variable name for a list and not `list`
...

Answer 2

'no' or 'nobuddy' in list is evaluated as
if ('no') or ( 'nobuddy' in list) :
True or ('nobuddy' in list) : => True

Anything other than 'empty string or null' are True in boolean equalent. so prints 'not good'

Answer 3
