Cannot determine vowels from consonants <p>With the code below, no matter what the first letter of the input is, it is always determined as a vowel:</p> <pre><code>original = raw_input("Please type in a word: ") firstLetter = original[0] print firstLetter if firstLetter == "a" or "e" or "i" or "o" or "u": print "vowel" else: print "consonant" </code></pre> <p>In fact, it doesn't matter what the boolean is in the if statement... if it is == or != , it is still return <code>"vowel"</code>. Why?</p>
