If else command in python: Is it possible to check character by character resulting in one output?

g = raw_input("What gender would you prefer Male or Female? (Please press m or f): ")
p = raw_input("Please enter your 10 digit Phone Number: ")
reasons = raw_input("Please enter your reason by pressing 1-4: ")
r = reasons
valid_mp3 = g+p+r
print valid_mp3
f12312312345

output is in the form of: gender (f) phone# (1231231234) Reason (5) Is there any way to state:

if getFirstCharacter(valid_mp3) == 'f':
    # miscellaneous command
if getSecondCharacter(valid_mp3) == '1'
    # miscellaneous command

How to implement getFirstCharacter and getSecondCharacter for instance?

Just work against g and p, unless there's some reason you can't.

if g == 'f':
    # do something for females
else if g == 'm':
    # do something for males
else:
    # invalid input

Same thing with the first character of p:

if p[0] == '1':
    # do something for first character of '1'

No sense in trying to do anything complex with the concatenated version if you already have the split versions.

You could probably use string indices like this:

if valid_mp3[0] == 'f':
    miscellaneous command
if valid_mp3[1] == '1':
    some other command
