Conditions are not working properly in __init_

What I'm trying to do here is to start game either in window mode or in fullscreen.

    def __init__(self, fsc):
        pygame.init()

        self.fullscreen = fsc
        print(self.fullscreen)

        if self.fullscreen:
            self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN)
        elif not self.fullscreen:
            self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIN_WIDTH, WIN_WIDTH))

        self.clock = pygame.time.Clock()
        #self.font = pygame.font.Font('Arial', 32)
        self.running = True

If I try to print the self.fullscreen, it will print either True or False. However the conditions are ignoring it, and the game starts in the fullscreen mode anyway, even if the self.fullscreen is False.

try to get rid of the elif and use just else

if self.fullscreen:
    self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN)
else:
    self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIN_WIDTH, WIN_WIDTH))

Turns out that in the other file, I accidentally made the variable a string:

# I had
player_info = [f'{nickname}', f'{gender}', f'{fullscreen}']
# Instead of
player_info = [f'{nickname}', f'{gender}', fullscreen]

Making the fsc = player_info[2] a string instead of boolen.
