Python新手：为什么这个简单的ifelif（C case块的复制）总是产生相同的结果？

Question

我是初学者。每当我输入指定的字符串时，有人能解释和/或帮助我修改Python代码以产生正确的输出吗？例如，如果输入三月，则输出“02”。目前，程序总是输出00，对于一月，不管输入。代码如下：

x = raw_input("Starting Month: ")

if x == "January" or "january":
   stMonth = '00'
elif x == "February" or "february":
    stMonth = '01'
elif x == "March" or "march":
    stMonth = '02'
elif x == "April" or "april":
    stMonth = '03'
elif x == "May" or "may":
    stMonth = '04'
elif x == "June" or "june":
    stMonth = '05'
elif x == "July" or "june":
    stMonth = '06'
elif x == "August" or "august":
    stMonth = '07'
elif x == "September" or "september":
    stMonth = '08'
elif x == "October" or "october":
    stMonth = '09'
elif x == "November" or "november":
    stMonth = '10'
elif x == "December" or "december":
    stMonth = '11'
else:
    print "error"
print stMonth

输出：

$ python month.py 
Starting Month: march
00

提前感谢-任何和所有的帮助是非常，非常感谢！你知道吗

Answer 1

您的声明：

if x == "January" or "january":

总是返回true，因为其计算结果为：

是x==“一月”否 然后对or进行求值并检查一月，返回true。所以如果你尝试： 如果“一月”： 它总是返回您的真值，因此您得到00作为输出。你知道吗

您可以在下列子句中使用or或：

if x == "January" or x == "january":

或者

if x in ("January", "january"):
