title: Searching for an equal string?
body: <p>I am not sure how to word the question title.</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-python prettyprint-override"><code>a = "Alpha";
  b = "Bravo";
  c = "Charlie";
  
  fn = input("What is your first name: ")
  
  for fletter in fn.split():
      fl = fletter[0]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code above gets the first letter entered. The goal is to then get the first letter to possible check in a while loop to see if the value of fl = one of the starting strings. Is that possible to do? Tips on where to begin?</p>
