How do I do a case-insensitive string comparison?
(15 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
How would I accept multiple options/answers for an input. For example:
if player_ship == 'Transport' or 'TRANSPORT' or 'transport':
print('You successfully purchased a Transport Ship!\n\n')
The below will ensure that case sensitivity is not a problem.
if player_ship.lower() == 'transport'
If you genuinely need to check against specific values, this will work:
if player_ship in {'Transport', 'TRANSPORT', 'transport'}

I have a line of code from Python forbidden fruit module:
__all__ = 'curse', 'curses', 'reverse'
I know what strings are and I know what arrays and tuples are. What kind of variable is this? How can we use this and for what?
It's a tuple. If you want to find out the type of something, use the type function - e.g.
type(__all__)

This is a common question I've seen, but really don't get the programming logic behind it. I'm sure it's a simple solution, but one that I have yet to understand.

Im trying to validate the user's input so he/she only types in 'all' or 'sel' (not case sensitive). Might just be some syntax mistake im making.
choice=input('Type "all" or "sel": ')
choice=choice.lower()
while choice!=('sel' or 'all'):
choice=input('Invalid input. Try again: ')
choice=choice.lower()
This only works if I type in 'sel', but not 'all'.

I have been trying to change the words in one of the columns of my data frame such that it will replace all the words except some keywords which I want to leave as it is.
I tried doing this:
df['col]=df['col].where(lambda x: x == ('A'or'B'or'C'),'others')
My plan is to replace every word that isn't A or B or C with others.
The code worked for A but B and C were replaced.
How do I go about this please?
NB: I am trying to improve my python skill and have searched the entire stack-overflow before asking this question.
Thank you for your help.
