if coin == 25 | 10 | 5:

If I replace the ‘|’ with ‘or’ the code runs just fine. I’m not sure why I can’t use ‘|’ in the same statement.

Doing the following doesn’t work either:

if coin == 25 | coin == 10 | coin == 5:

I know bitwise operators can only be used with integers, but other then that is there another difference from logical operators?

    I don’t have the answer, but if you are looking to do something like that you could simply do :
    if coin in (25, 10, 5):
    Or use a list but I think using a tuple is better as your values are fixed.

      Yes I did eventually think of that as well but just wanted to understand why ‘|’ wasn’t producing the results I expected.
