The use of the sys library

I am trying to use the system library but I am unable to exit. The notification I am getting is 'didn't exit start_movie (my variable)'. Asking for help!

firedoor.py 
import sys

start_movie = input("Do you wanna watch a movie!?")
if start_movie != 'n' or start_movie !='N':
    print("Enjoy the show!")
else:
    sys.exit()

the sys.exit() function is working in your code it is just that the if condition is always executed in this code, you can use start_movie.lower() != 'n' as a condition of the if statement (as you would not have to account for capitalized inputs)
