"if" beginner question

[Trinx]

Try this:

print("Please choose the combination you like:")
print("milk", "", "sugar", "", "tea", "", "coffee")
print("Choose the first one:")
first = input()
print("Choose the second one:")
second = input()
if first.upper()[0] == 'M' and second.upper()[0] == 'S':
 print("????????????")
elif first.upper()[0] == 'M' and second.upper()[0] == 'T':
  print("typical")
elif first.upper()[0] == 'S' and second.upper()[0] == 'T':
 print("okay")
elif first.upper()[0] == 'S' and second.upper()[0] == 'C':
 print("wake up")
else:
 print("Is there any other combination?")

I used a command .upper which converts the input to all caps. Then I used [0] which means that the input is now only the first letter and it's a capital letter. So if the user said coffee, python would read that as C. You could also use the 'or' command if you want.

elif first.upper()[0] == 'S' or 'T' and second.upper()[0] == 'T' or 'S':
 print("okay")

Like that. I hope this helps you, I know it helped me explaining this. I'm not that great of a programmer either but I'm learning!
