Functions and if - else in python. Mutliple conditions. Codeacademy

Question

Write a function, shut_down, that takes one parameter (you can use anything you like; in this case, we\'d use s for string).

The shut_down func

Answer 1

I know this doesn't exactly fit the specification but this is another common option which would catch a few more permutations:

def shut_down(s):
    s = s.upper()
    if s == "YES":
        return "Shutting down..."
    elif s == "NO":
        return "Shutdown aborted!"
    else:
        return "Sorry, I didn't understand you."
