if statement not working - g0g0g1g - Sep-04-2020
if i enter random gibberish it still runs the code as if i entered one of the acceptable names I.E. my code carries out the first if statement, despite it not being a correct name why isn't it saying access denied when i'm not saying the correct name.
import random
#round_score is score for that round
#total_score is the running total
#total is the total of both dice added
player_name = input()
if player_name == "Alex Johnson" or "Bob Johnson" or "Duncan Johnson" or "Joan Stokes":
print ("Die 1 Die 2 Total Die 3 Round score")
die_1 = random. randint(1,6)
die_2 = random. randint(1,6)
total = (die_1) + (die_2)
total_2 = 0
if die_1 == die_2:
die_3 = random. randint(1,6)
total_2 = die_3 + total_2
#if total == 2 or total == 4 or total == 6 or total == 8 or total == 10 or total == 12:
if total%2 == 0:
round_score = total + 10 + total_2
else:
round_score = total - 5 + total_2
print (" ", die_1, " ", die_2," ", total," ", total_2," ", round_score)
print (player_name)
elif player_name == "Merlin" or "Poppy":
print ("nice try dog")
#my dogs
else:
print ("Access denied")edit: in my post i have indents but it wont show up

You should think what this line does (hint: it will be always True):
if player_name == "Alex Johnson" or "Bob Johnson" or "Duncan Johnson" or "Joan Stokes":Probably you want something like:
if player_name in ("Alex Johnson", "Bob Johnson", "Duncan Johnson", "Joan Stokes"):
