Python challenge question("male" or "female")

Question

Sex = "F"
if (Sex == "M" or "m"):
Print("male")
else:
Print("female")
#CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN WHY THE ANSWER IS MALE INSTEAD OF FEMALE?
#i didn't create this question btw😂I got this question and I got wrong in the challenge

Answer 1

that happend through the incorrect use of binary operators.

if Sex == 'M' or Sex == 'm'

Answer 2

Good question and for the explanation of such kind of answer refer this...

Answer 3

Python evaluates any non-empty string, list, tuple, dict as True, also any non-zero number is evaluated as True when used with IF or a logical operator (OR,AND,NOT)

This is why "m" is evaluated as True, and you have to do the == comparison

Answer 4

#Python challenge question("male" or "female")

Sex = "F"
if (Sex == "M" or Sex == "m"):
print("male")
else:
print("female")
# use print in lowercase,
# condition must be written properly!
