title: Python - function to do string comparison
body: <pre><code>def name(x):
      return x==('Jenson'or'Amra'or'McCay'or'Spinner'or'Jones')
  print(name('Jenson'))
  print(name('McCay'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the question:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"Write a function that takes as input a name of a person (e.g.,
    “smith”, “jones”, etc.) This function should  check to see if the name
    is one of the five names of people on the board. The five names are:
    “Jenson”,”Amra”,  “McCay”,”Spinner”, and “Jones”. If the name input
    into the function is one of those five names, the function  should
    return the Boolean value True, and if it isn’t, the function should
    return False. (remember comments  with input types, description, and
    test cases) Test the function to make sure it works."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It works if I am doing Jenson but it comes out with false if I put in any other name.</p>
