Adding more than a word to the ignore list

Hello !

How could I add more words to the Censoring list using the same variable 'noun' (as per the example thought here)

Thanks, -Lionel

The next video covers blocking multiple words. Basically, it's similar to how you block one word, but instead of saying "if noun equals X, exit the program," you'd be saying "if noun equals X OR if noun equals Y OR if noun equals Z, exit the program."

Thanks for the response. Yes I shot the question too early. The very next track covered it like you have explained above. I have a follow-up question though. Instead of OR-ing these long 'noun.equals("<string>")' statements , is it possible to make 'String noun' an array and just input the words that we'd like to censor ?
