I’m taking the course and trying to write a code and I’m stuck on it. Here is what the results are suppose to be:

# Check if x and b are both True. If they are, print “Both of these are true.”

# Check if y or a is False. If one is, print “One of these is false.”

# Check if either x or y is False. If one is, print out “One is false.”

# Then, only if either x or y is False, check if x is greater than y. If it is, print out “x is greater than y.”

This is the code I wrote and have been working on but can’t figure it out.

x = 8  
y = 0  
a = “Hello!”  
b = “”

if x and b == True:  
print(“Both of these are true”)

elif y or a == False:  
print(“One of these is false”)

elif x or y == False:  
print (“one is false”)

elif x \> y :  
print (“x is greater than y”)

Thanks for any help.

Hello,  
Try using statements like:

if **x == True and b == True** :  
print(“Both of these are true”)

elif **y == False or a == False** :  
print(“One of these is false”)

elif **x == False or y == False** :  
print (“one is false”)

elif x \> y :  
print (“x is greater than y”)
