[Tutor] List Python Question..Please help

[Jacqueline Canales]

composers = ['Antheil', 'Saint-Saens', 'Beethoven', 'Easdale', 'Nielsen']
x = 'Antheil'
s = 'Saint-Saens'
h = 'Beethoven'
y = 'Easdale'
k = 'Nielsen'

if s[0] == 'S' or s[0] == 's' == s[-1] == 'S' or s[-1] == 's':
    if y[0] == 'E' or y[0] == 'e' == y[-1] == 'E' or y[-1] == 'e':
        if k[0] == 'N' or k[0] == 'n' == k[-1] == 'N' or k[-1] == 'n':
            print(s,k,y)
        else:
            print(" ")

####Answer i Got Below
>>>
Saint-Saens Nielsen Easdale
>>>

Is this what i was going for in the direction i was a bit confused if we
were suppose create loops or if statements that are verified in the actual
composers list. I don't know i feel as if i know what i need to do i just
cant put it together.
