How to have multiple correct answers?

Question

If the question was: How many days in a week?
And the correct answer was 7 or seven, is It possible to have  two correct answers and how would we do it?
Thanks in advance

@Jonathan Grieve (https://teamtreehouse.com/jonathangrieve) I think you have it reversed. He would use the OR operator in this situation. Your example will always be false because because $answer can never be both 1 and 'one' at the same time.
He's not saying the user enters two different answers and both of them have to be correct. He's saying that a user enters one answer and there are two things they could enter that would be correct. Therefore only one out of the two possible answer checks needs to return true to the conditional, so you would use the OR operator. 
```javascript
if (($answer == 1) || ($answer == "one")) {
}
```

Yes you can do that.  The trick is to test for a condition that uses the AND operator
javascript
AND  or &&

so you could have something like 
```javascript
if($answer == 1)) && ($answer == "one") {
}
```
This would work because either one or both answers would pass the condition.  The operator checks for both reponses rather than || which merely checks for one correct answer.
