I was doodling at the interpreter: >>> fruit = ["apples","pears","oranges"] >>> for f in fruit: ... if f != "apples": ... print f ... print "This is not an apple." ... pears This is not an apple. oranges This is not an apple.
What I can't remember is what is 'or' in python. For example, what if I want the loop to skip apples and pears? I tried this: >>> for f in fruit: ... if f != "apples" or "pears": ... print f ... print "This is not an apple or pear" ... apples This is not an apple or pear pears This is not an apple or pear oranges This is not an apple or pear >>> Actually maybe my problem is not asking the right question? Should I be looking for 'and' instead of 'or' ? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
