[Tutor] Function problem

[Jacob S.]

You know,

    I would probably do something that was suggested a little while ago on
the list.

ask = raw_input("Give me something like yes or no. ")
ask  = ask.lower()
li = ['y','ye','yes','yep','affirmative','okay','alright']  # etc.
if ask in li:
    print "You typed in something that meant yes. "
else:
    print "You typed in something that means no or something that I don't
recognize. "
