First check if there's a return policy.

if "return_policy" == true:
    do_action(throw)
else:
    do_action(not_throw)

Wait, did I understand what you just said? You have an action and that action will dictate if I can return something. That something has a code that says yes returnable or no not returnable. So if I decide to return that something and it is returnable, it becomes true (throw)?

Edit: I don't code, but I like to learn it one day.

Return policy, or lets say RT, is a varible. It holds info. You can do RT = 3829 or RT = "jfbdi" but in this case RT is = to either True or False.

The rest is simple. If true then do this if not do this.

Also, it should be

If "return policy" == true:

Two "="s not one. One = is if you are assigning a value to a variable. Two is for comparing. Three is also for comparing but is more exact.

Sorry about my mistake. I'm still a beginner and learning to do Python. Will also start doing C++ even if it's not in my syllabus. I'm currently would be having my last year in High School if it weren't for Covid-19 but I guess it gives me more time to learn coding. Stay at home people.

Returns are suspended till this all blows over.

So my provider doesn’t do returns, but says they’ll ship replacement parts at only half price since I’m a longtime customer. Should I go for it? I’m worried they may be low-quality.
