OK, you don't really have to read it all, but I think you get the basic Idea. Does anyone have anything small that could make my code better? I just found out about "global" and "lower()". Is there any small thing you can give me that could improve my code a lot, or at least save me some time?

\$\begingroup\$

Bug

elif q1 == "catch" or "Catch it" or "Catch" or "catch it":

Because:

>>> q1 = "a"
>>> q1 == "catch" or "Catch it" or "Catch" or "catch it"
'Catch it'
>>> "catch" == "catch" or "Catch it" or "Catch" or "catch it"
True
>>> "0" == "catch" or "Catch it" or "Catch" or "catch it"
'Catch it'

So it is true for all strings.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Wait, what exactly was done with the code here? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 3, 2020 at 14:41
  • \$\begingroup\$ @Chase-WinnerPlayz elif q1 in ["catch", "Catch it", "Catch", "catch it"]: but you could make it easier with elif q1.lower().startswith('catch'): and cover everything starting with "catch" \$\endgroup\$
