Hi Jonathan, and welcome! It is difficult to advise you when we don't know what you are doing wrong. You should always show us your code: the *minimum* amount of code that demonstrates the nature of your problem. Otherwise we're just guessing.

I'll try to guess that you're doing something like this: # Wrong way, doesn't work. a = 'cat' b = 'Cat' b.lower() # lowercase of b a == b # returns False, they are not equal # Instead, try this: a = 'cat' b = 'Cat' b = b.lower() # set b to the lowercase of b a == b # returns True # Or even better: a = 'cat' b = 'Cat' a.lower() == b.lower() # returns True -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
