So here is the task from the study:
(link: https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-python-3/lessons/python-control-flow/exercises/if-statement)
1.
In script.py, there is an if statement. I wrote this because my coworker Dave kept using my computer without permission and he is a real doofus. If the user_name is Dave, it tells him to stay off my computer.
Enter a user name in the field for user_name and try running the program.
Solution:
user_name = “Dave”
if user_name == “Dave”:
print(“Get off my computer Dave!”)
OKAY EVERYTHING IS FINE
Part 2
Ugh! Dave got around my security and has been logging onto my computer using our coworker Angela’s user name, angela_catlady_87.
Set your user_name to be angela_catlady_87.
Update the program with a second if statement so it checks for Angela’s user name as well and prints
"I know it is you, Dave! Go away!"
in response. That’ll teach him!
Solution:
user_name = “Dave”
if user_name == “Dave”:
print(“Get off my computer Dave!”)
user_name = “angela_catlady_87”
if user_name == “angela_catlady_87”:
print(“I know it is you, Dave! Go away!”)
MY QUESTION:
We are redefining user_name here to “angela_catlady_87” so if Dave tries “Dave” instead he shouldn’t see the message.
Shouldn’t we add something like if user_name == “Dave” or “angela_catlady_87”
or assign the second variable like used_name_2 = “angela_catlady_87”
and code if user_name == “Dave” or “angela_catlady_87”
so this would really help the purpose?
I don’t get this part the variable is updated with a new one so the program should not recognize “Dave” isn’t it?
