I am trying to make a calculator and the user must input which operation they want to use, I have only done addition so far but you get the point.

welcome = str(input("Welcome to the calculator, which form of operation do you wish to choose? "))

Addition = "Add", "add", "Addition", "addition", " "

for x in Addition:

if welcome == Addition:
    print("Works")

I run the code and when I input any of the strings in the "Addition" variable, it does not print "Works"?.

I have tried without the for loop and it still does not print "Works"

I am an absolute beginner at python and I just made this stackoverflow account today. I don't know how to write the code in proper code form in this question.

CodePudding user response：

You are probably looking for in we can also use .lower() on the input so we have fewer things to match.

welcome = str(input("Welcome to the calculator, which form of operation do you wish to choose? ")).lower()
addition = ['add','addition',' ']

if welcome in addition:
    print('worked')
