398 PointsAfter giving answer no or n still printing me out : " SOLD!" . What's wrong ?
I've just started that task but i have already stuck. I've used IF , ELIF correct but doesnt matter what i will write it is always giving me answer " SOLD!".
TICKET_PRICE = 10
tickets_remaining = 100
name = input("What is your name? ")
# Output how many tickets are remaining using the tickets_remaining variable
print('{} tickets are remaining '.format(tickets_remaining))
# Gather the user's name and assign it to new variable
# Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they would like
order = input(" Hi {}!. How many tickets would you like? ".format(name))
order = int(order)
# Calculate the price
price = order * TICKET_PRICE
print(" Total price is ${} .".format(price))
# Prompt user if they want to proceed
confirmation = input("Are you sure You want to confirm purchase? (Yes/No) ").lower
# print out to the screen "SOLD!" to confirm purhcase
# and then decrement the tickets remaining by the number of tickets purchased
if confirmation == "y" or "yes":
print("SOLD!")
tickets_remaining -= order
# Otherwise....
#Thank them by name
elif confirmation == "n" or "no":
print("Thank You {}! ".format(name))
# Otherwise....
#Thank them by name

1,596 PointsTry changing the end of your code for the following:
if confirmation == "yes": print("SOLD!") tickets_remaining -= order
else: print("Thank You {}! ".format(name))
There must be other ways to consider both ‘yes’ and ‘y’ but for the purpose of this exercise this should work
