I am currently creating a python jupytert notebooks program that allows for people to see their paycheck rundown. I am now trying to check to make sure the user inputs a value that is acceptable. Like lets say I say enter(1) if married and enter(2) if not married. I want to check to make sure that the user inputs either one or two. I was just wondering if you could help me figure out how to test for equality for example is the number entered equal to 1 or 2 and if the name entered is a string?

Here is my code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt class employe(): def __init__(self,deductions): self.kids = 0 self.health = 0 self.money = 0 self.money2 = 0 self.medicare = 1.45 self.social = 6.3 self.mmoney = 0 self.mstax = 0 self.mftax = 0 self.htotal = 0 self.sstax = 0 self.sftax = 0 self.employename = 0 self.money3 = 0 print("If you are currently employed with our company, enter (1), if not, enter (2)?") choice = input() if choice == "1": print("Congrats, you are a proud member of our company.") self.name() elif choice =="2": print("If you worked for our company in the past year enter (1), if not, enter (2)?") choice = input() if choice == "1": print("Congrats our tax calculator can help you out.") self.name() elif choice == "2": print("Our tax calculator is unable to help you out.") exit() print("Do you have (1)Kids in daycare or (2)No Kids in daycare?
