title: How to test for multiple conditions (or's) in an if statement in python
body: <p>I am currently solving some simple python exercises i found online as a preparation for an exam I have next week. However, I keep having the same problem:</p>
  
  <p>In an if statement, how can I test for multiple conditions ('or's)? (see below)</p>
  
  <p>Example: when trying to check if a character is a vowel (and returning True if it is), i'd like to test for all five vowels, but if i write it like this, the first letter will be True (i.e. a), but e, i, o or u returns False, and I can't figure out why:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def vowel_or_not(char):
      if char == ('a' or 'e' or 'i' or 'o' or 'u'):
          return True
      else:
          return False
  
  print(vowel_or_not('a'))   # returns True
  print(vowel_or_not('e'))   # returns False
  print(vowel_or_not('k'))   # returns False
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
