Conditions on if statement

September 28, 2022

so my code doesnt read the chemistry or physics conditions i’m not sure how im supposed to include it otherwise. Any ideas or tips for this sort of scenario?

print("are you a student at USask, yes or no?")
student: str = str(input(" "))

print("What department are you in?")
dept: str = str(input(" "))

print("How old are you?")
age: int = int(input( ))

while True:
    if student == "yes" and (dept == "ICT" or dept == "Physics" or dept == "Chemistry"):
        continue
    if age >= 19:
        print("Access Granted")
        break
    elif age < 19:
        print("Access Denied")
        break
    else:
        print("Access Denied")
        break

>Solution :

print("are you a student at USask, yes or no?")
student: str = str(input(" "))

print("What department are you in?")
dept: str = str(input(" "))

print("How old are you?")
age: int = int(input( ))

while True:
    if student == "yes" + dept == "ICT" or dept == "Physics" or dept == "Chemistry":
        if age >= 19:
            print("Access Granted")
            break
        elif age < 19:
            print("Access Denied")
            break
        else:
            print("Access Denied")
            break

Try this, your continue statement in the first if just restarts the loop and never goes to the following if statements.
