How allow an IF statement to accept two or more variables

Question

        # Battle Loop

    while Battle == 1:

    # Taking users action to decide what to do

        UserAction = input("Attack, defend, run: ")

        # If the User decides to Attack
        if UserAction == "Attack" and "attack":
            print("Attacking!")

When the user enters "Attack" the message will be printed however if the user enters "attack" if will keep asking for UserAction instead of printing the message. How do I allow for the IF statement to accept two or more alternative strings?

do `if UserAction in ("Attack", "attack"):` Or, much simpler: `if UserAction.lower() == "attack":` — idjaw, Jul 22 '17 at 03:21

You could convert the value to lower case and then you only have one comparison to make.

if UserAction.lower() == "attack":
