Sorry if this is a horrible post, but I'm new to this site and to coding in general. This code that I've written doesn't print the else statement when it should (typing anything other than "yes" or "Yes"). In other words, it always prints: Fantastic! I'm sorry if this is a very basic question, but I've just started coding a few days ago (I really like it!).

 name = input("What is your name? ")

 day = input("Has your day been going well, Mr. " +name+"? ")

 if day == "yes" or "Yes":

     print ("Fantastic!")

 else:
     print ("I'm sorry.")

Check the linked post. The problem is the `or` isn't working like you think. What you write means `if (day == "yes") or ("Yes")`, which means part of your if is like saying `if "Yes"`. HTH – Two-Bit Alchemist Jun 07 '16 at 19:58
You need it to read `if day == "yes" or day == "Yes":` – Matt Cremeens Jun 07 '16 at 19:58
^ Or more commonly either `if day.lower() == "yes"` or `if day in ('yes', 'Yes')` – Two-Bit Alchemist Jun 07 '16 at 19:59
