python逻辑值,“字符串”的逻辑值是多少？在Python中？

I erroneously wrote this code in Python:

name = input("what is your name?")

if name == "Kamran" or "Samaneh":

print("That is a nice name")

else:

print("You have a boring name ;)")

It always prints out "That is a nice name" even when the input is neither "Kamran" nor "Samaneh".

Am I correct in saying that it considers "Samaneh" as a true? Why?

By the way, I already noticed my mistake. The correct form is:

if name == "Kamran" or name == "Samaneh":

Any non empty string in Python (and most other languages) is true as are all non-zero numbers and non-empty lists, dictionaries, sets and tuples.1

A nicer way to do what you want is:

name = input("what is your name?")

if name in ("Kamran", "Samaneh"):

print("That is a nice name")

else:

print("You have a boring name ;)")

This creates a tuple containing the names that you want and performs a membership test.

1 As delnan points out in the comments, this applies to all well written collections. That is, if you implement a custom collection class, make sure that it is false when it's empty.
