Your code is correct for the most part just a few minor things. you can't use or there because you have to test to ensure that it isn't 'n' and it isn't 'N' so you need to use the 'AND' keyword. And you must restate the variable for the second comparison operator.

if n != 'n' and n != 'N':

Hi Raiyan,

Please see my code below which I used to pass this challenge:

import sys

question = input("Do you want to start the movie?")

if question != "n" and question != "N":
    print("Enjoy the show!")
else:
    sys.exit()

Everything in your code looks good apart from the "or" you used after your first condition in the if statement. You are to use "and" in replacement of this and it should work.

Hope this helps! Happy coding!!!
