comparing 2 list indexes

Question

I have a problem with comparing 2 list indexes.
In code

inventory=['q', 'w', 'e', 'r']



print(inventory)



if 'q' and 'w' in inventory:



    a=inventory.index('q')

    b=inventory.index('w')

else:

    print('\nNothing')

if a > b:

    a+=1

    del inventory[:a]

    print("Your inventory:")

    print(inventory)

    print(a)

elif b<a:

    b+=1

    del inventory[:b]

    print("Your inventory:")

    print(inventory)

    print(b)

else:

    print('Sth went wrong')

    print(a,b)

a

and

b

don't want to compare -output from console is :



    ['q', 'w', 'e', 'r']

    Sth went wrong

    0 1

It seams, that 2 ints are unable to compare. Does anybody know why?

Answer 1

In your if statement you have

if a > b:
    ...
elif b < a:
    ...

These are the same thing. The second condition should be b > a:
