So i am writting something that takes a string and then perform a loop on each of that string character. I have an if statement to separate numbers from symbols with a bunch of or operators in condition but it dosen't seem to work.
equation = '2+5-4*6-2/2'
for x in equation:
if x == ('+' or '-') or ('*' or '/'):
print('symbol', x)
else:
print(x)
The output:
symbol 2
symbol +
symbol 5
symbol -
symbol 4
symbol *
symbol 6
symbol -
symbol 2
symbol /
symbol 2
I actually have a solution, wich is this:
equation = '2+5-4*6-2/2'
symbols = ['+','-','*','/']
for x in equation:
if x in symbols:
print('symbol', x)
else:
print(x)
But i still want to know why the or operators dont work. I have tried these condition and doesn't work.
if x == ('+' or '-') or ('*' or '/'):
if x == (('+' or '-') or ('*' or '/')):
if x == '+' or '-' or '*' or '/':
I would like to know more, thanks.
