I know its a stupid and simple mistake but i cant seem to find it!

#Use input() to ask the user if they want to start the movie.

#If they answer anything other than "n" or "N", print "Enjoy the show!". Otherwise, call #sys.exit(). You'll need to import the sys library.

import sys
ans=input("Wana start the movie")
if ans=='n' or ans=='N':
  sys.exit()
else:
   print("Enjoy the show!")

Hey Aleksandar,

I think it was just a glitch in the code checker. Your code is correct, and when I copy/paste it into the challenge, it does pass.

Maybe, just copy the your own code from above, refresh the challenge and paste in the code again.

I agree - it failed when I ran it first time round, then works fine now!

This worked:

import sys
ans = input("Want to start the movie? ")
if ans =='n' or ans =='N':
  sys.exit()
else:
  print("Enjoy the show!")

EDIT: Your code's fine! :-)

Steve.

Hey!

The only change I have made in the following extract is converting the 'N' to lowercase using the lower() function- this just helps to make the code a little shorter. 

import sys

answer = input("Do you want to start the movie?")
if answer.lower() == 'n':
    sys.exit()
else:
    print("Enjoy the show!")

another option :

answer = input("Do you want to start the movie?").lower()

wouldn't it be cleaner to write: if ans.lower == 'n
