我应该怎么用呢？

Question

OK. I'm back on track for my quest to make a server-sided laughing man head for my Toontown private server. Now, I've made an if statement to filter who IS ME and who ISN'T ME.

    if invoker.getName() = "Toonman"

But, It said invalid syntax. I came here to ask, what is the proper syntax for this line of python code? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

= is an assignment

== is an equality check.

is is an identity check (thanks!)

Answer 2

if invoker.getName() == "Toonman":

Answer 3

if invoker.getName() = "Toonman"

In the code above, if invoker.getName() is correct, as is "Toonman" . The error comes because in a statement like this, if requires a == operator.

From http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_basic_operators.htm :

= "Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand"

== If the values of two operands are equal, then the condition becomes true.

Basically you use = when you are setting something like name = "Toonman" , and use == when you are checking something like if name == "Toonman": .
