Simple if-else statement by comparing numbers meeting these conditions:

• the last digit is an 8 or 9

• the second and third digits are the same

it will output "ignore" otherwise it will output "answer"

def call(a):
    if (a[0] == 9 or a[0] == 8) and a[1] == a[2] and (a[3] == 9 or a[3] == 8):
        print("ignore")
    else:
        print("answer")

A = []
for i in range(4):
    A.append(int(input()))

call(A)
