1Aside from the misconstructed comparison, `candidate_type_input` is a `str` value, and so will never be equal to an `int` value like `1` or `2`. You need to compare to a string, or convert the input to an `int` first. – chepner Sep 22 '21 at 17:16

Thank you. I have corrected that and put (1 or 2) in brackets. It is now only working for 1 and not 2. – Chukwukelu Marvelous Sep 22 '21 at 17:23

Yes, that's the part the linked duplicate fixes. You can't just put `1 or 2` in parentheses; (in)equality testing doesn't work that way. – chepner Sep 22 '21 at 17:23

Okay. So what do you suggest I do. Separate it and nest one inside another? – Chukwukelu Marvelous Sep 22 '21 at 17:27
