The code seems to only bring out 20 everytime I put my input in, what am I doing wrong?

#This code will tell the age of the person that inputs their name

input("Enter Name:")
name = ("Tosin") or ("Toyin")
if name == ("Tosin"):
print(20)
if name == ("Toyin"):
print(12)``
else:
print("Try again")

What I have tried:

#This code will tell the age of the person that inputs their name

input("Enter Name:")
name = ("Tosin") or ("Toyin")
if name == ("Tosin"):
print(20)
if name == ("Toyin"):
print(12)``
else:
print("Try again")

Try this
name=input("Enter name(toshin or toyin)")

Your code always sets name = "Tosin".

As suggested, change your code this way:

Python

name =  input("Enter Name: (Tosin or Toyin) ")
if name == ("Tosin"):
  print(20)
elif name == ("Toyin"):
  print(12)
else:
  print("Try again")
