How can I make a sentinel value NOT be initialized in a class/method - OOP?

I hope this makes sense.


Hard to say for certain without seeing your code, but the most likely cause
of this is that the input string contains a trailing newline that causes it
to differ from the sentinel value you're comparing it to. Consider using
the rstrip string method to remove any trailing whitespace.
