Tuple values not being accurately compared in game logic [duplicate]

How to test multiple variables against a value?
21 answers
I am refactoring code for a Tic-Tac-Toe application in Python however i am running into trouble when rewriting the function that checks for a winning condition.
This is what i have right now
x = ('X', 'X', 'X')
o = ('O', 'O', 'O')
if ('X', '-', '-') == o or x:
print(True)
This returns True even though the string shown is clearly not either one of the ones it's been compared to. However what is even weirder is that when I compare it to just one tuple
if ('X', '-', '-') == o:
print(True)
True doesn't get returned. Can someone please explain why this happens

Okay let's break this down. The way you have your code written, you have two things you're comparing to see if they're "truthy":
('X', '-', '-') == ox
The half of your or conditional is x itself. Since a tuple with values is considered truthy, your condition (everything after if) will always evaluate to true! If you're trying to compare ('X', '-', '-') to o and to x, you'll need to do this:
if ('X', '-', '-') == o or ('X', '-', '-') == x
