！=后只能有一个字符串吗？

Question

I'm just writing some small code and I'm not able to make this work, I am only able to have one string which is eg boy or girl but I would like to have both, do I have to make a separate elif statement or can I somehow put girl in there as well

    gender = input("Are you a boy or a girl? : ")

    if (gender != "boy"):

    print("Get out of here you mutant")

    exit()

Answer 1

You would need to have 3 conditions:

if gender == 'boy':
    print ('You are a boy')
elif gender == 'girl':
    print ('You are a girl')
else:
    print("Get out of here you mutant")

Or you can do like that:

if gender in ('boy', 'girl'):
    print('You are a {}'.format(gender)
else:
    print("Get out of here you mutant")

In the second script you check if gender is a girl or a boy and if so it puts gender variable in the print output string.
