<s>[INST] Can you simplify this python condition?

elif a[1] == str(3) or a[1] == str(4) [/INST] Sure, here's a simpler way to express that same condition:
```python
elif a[1] in ["3", "4"]:
```
This uses the in keyword to check if the value of a[1] is present in the list ["3", "4"]. This is a more concise way to express the same logic as the original code. </s><s>[INST] Can you make it also be able to deal with the numbers as integers? [/INST] Yes, you can modify the condition to check for integers as well as strings by using the map() function to convert the elements of the list to integers:

```python
elif int(a[1]) in [3, 4]:
```

This will convert the value of a[1] to an integer using the int() function, and then check if it is present in the list [3, 4]. </s>
