Tested the code, and it works. Keep getting a challenge error "Try Again"

Keep getting the try again error on Python basics challenge question.

firedoor.py 
import sys

inputs = input("test ")
if inputs != "n" and inputs != "N":
    print ("Enjoy the show!")
else:
    sys.exit(0)

Sometimes the challenge is looking for a specific output or specific syntax; even though the code may work it might not be what the challenge is looking for.

Taking the 0 out of sys.exit(0) worked for me

  1. it should be an if-or statement, not if-and ---> if ans =='n' or ans =='N':
  2. within the if statement place sys.exit() & within the else statement print("Enjoy the show!)
  3. remove the space between the print statement and the parenthesis
  4. remove the zero from sys.exit()
