Python If Elif Else conditions

Question

If an item to be purchased costs more than $5000 then the purchaser must go to tender (display a message), if the item costs between $500 and $5000 inclusive then the purchaser must get quotes from three different suppliers (display a message), otherwise the purchaser can just go ahead and order the item (display a message).

What I have is leaving out the last bit. I know it is something simple.

cost=int(input("Please Enter The Cost Of The Item You Wish To Purchase: "))
if cost>5000:
    print("Your Must Go To Tender")
elif cost<=500 or cost<=5000:
   print("Your Must Get 3 Different Quotes")
else:
    print("You May Order")

Yes it is something simple. Look carefully at this statement elif cost<=500 or cost<=5000: — Stephen C

The second case should be cost >= 500 or cost <= 5000 (or more naturally, 500 <= cost <= 5000. — chepner

@chepner - Your correction is not correct. Consider what the OP is actually trying to do in that test ..... — Stephen C

That's because of your elifcondition which should be:

elif cost >= 500 and cost <= 5000:
