ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 20

In Python and binds tighter than or. So your statement is equivalent to this:

if day == 0 or (day == 6 and vacation != True):

To get the correct result you must parenthesize the precedence yourself:

if (day == 0 or day == 6) and vacation != True:

ANSWER 2

What you probably want is this:

def alarm_clock(day, vacation):
    if (day == 0 or day == 6) and vacation != True:
        return "10.00"
    else: 
        return "off"

print(alarm_clock(0, True))
