title: What does a [mccabe] Cyclomatic complexity too high error mean?
body: <p>I am creating a CYOA in repl.it for a school project and need to have a list so what I did is at every input I am putting an option for the user to see their items. At the main split I put</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>Items = ["Flask of Root Beer"]
  print ("Intro:\nYou think to yourself as a 24yo dude with no life ahead of him 'Why am i stuck working in the urban district when I could be in the forest district exploring or something'. With the volcano looming over you, you head out the next morning leaving everything behind you and pursuing your dream of exploration. ")
  print ()
  print ("You depart from your house with your flask of root beer \nin your pocket and discover a fork in the road. ")
  orig_path=input("Do you go left, straight, or right? ")
  print ()
  if orig_path == "show items" or "items":
    print (Items)
  if orig_path == "left":
    print ("You go to the left and you see a light over in the distance.")
    ufo_light=input("Do you investigate? ")
    if ufo_light == "show items" or "items":
      print (Items)
    if ufo_light == ("yes"):
      print ("You investigate the bright light and you see that it's a crashed alien ship!")
      ufo_four_choice=input("You go into the ship and see that there are four things of note. The console, a alien gun on the floor, some green blood right next to it, and a labeled distress call button. Which one do you investigate first? ")
      if ufo_four_choice == "show items" or "items":
        print (Items)
      if ufo_four_choice == "console" or "the console":
        print ("End")
      if ufo_four_choice == "alien gun" or "the alien gun":
        print ("End")
      if ufo_four_choice == "alien blood" or "blood" or "green blood":
        print ("End")
      if ufo_four_choice == "distress call button" or "button" or "labeled distress call button":
        print ("End")

  As I said this is for school so I am just learning, so I haven't tried much to fix this. I don't know what to do because I don't know what that error is. if you can explain what that would be it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
