Problem with very easy code.

[janekk9002]

Hi! So today I started coding with Python, and I wanted to create this easy code, where you need to answer with: yes or no. It's not working, everytime, when I type "no" it always shows me "good answer!". How do I fix that?

fruits = input("do you like fruits?: ")

yes = input
no = input

if yes:
print("good answer!")
else:
print("bad answer!")

I don't really now what I am doing.

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.

there are multiple issues with your code

• indentation is wrong, but probably it's just because of posting here (please, use BBcode tags
  
• yes = input and no = input do NOT work as you expect.
  you bind name yes and also name no to a built-in function. It looks like you want to bind specific values (strings) to these names
  yes = 'yes'
  no = 'no'
  Please, note that this is NOT required.
  
• you want to check if fruits - i.e. what user provide as input is 'yes'.
  
• it's good to use meaningful names. fruits is so so, e.g. answer is better :-)
  

answer = input("do you like fruits?: ")

if answer == 'yes':
    print("good answer!")
else:
    print("bad answer!")

Note that any answer different from 'yes' will produce bad answer, incl. Yes, YES, y, etc. You can handle this if you want
