I have a question

maybe you guys try it out but I am having trouble:
When I run it the beginning works perfectly but when I ask the last question it does not respond. I was wondering if there was an answer to this.
https://repl.it/@miloplotitsa/no

for a non link version:

message = ('wait, you just said')
print ('hello')
#not sure what to do with this
first = input ('A, E, __, O, U, and sometimes Y')
second = input('what is the color of the sky and the ocean?')
third = input('what is the opposite of down?')
print (message+first+second+third+'!')
print ('I\'m sorry that\'s just stupid')
print ('I said I am sorry a\'ight?')
friend = input('im sorry okay? can we please be friends?')
if friend == ('yes' or 'y'):
  print ('yay!')

The problem is that or is usually used to compare two boolean expressions, which means the 2 things on its left and write must have a value of either True or False.

In this case the two things you're asking or to check are

Whether 'yes'
Or, whether 'y'

That doesn't make much sense, what you're really trying to do is

Check whether friend == 'yes'
Or, whether friend == 'y'

So what you should have written is

if (friend == 'yes') or (friend == 'y'):
  print('yay!')

A slightly better way of writing the same thing is

if friend in ['yes', 'y']:
  print('yay!')

Your code now works like a charm :)

I tested it... Its works totally fine 🤷‍♂️

For the last question what input are you giving it? If you don't give yes or y nothing gets printed.
