How to check if Product Attribute is equal to

Question

Brief

On a Product Page, I want to check if a Product Attribute is equal to a specific value. And then output the appropriate text.

Where I'm at so far

<?php
// Helper for Checking Product Attribute
$_product = $block->getProduct();
// Get Product Attributes
$shape = $_product->getShape();
?>

<!-- Shape Check -->
<?php if ($shape == 'Round'): ?>
    <div>
        <span>I am Round</span>
    </div>
<?php elseif ($shape == 'Square'): ?>
    <div>
        <span>I am Square</span>
    </div>
<?php else: ?>
    <div>
        <span>Else</span>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

Issue

Despite checking a product that is either Square or Round, the output only displays Else. Therefore, my code isn't checking the attribute correctly.

Depends on the attribute type. For example if it's a dropdown you will get the ID.

Take a look at this for example

Try this:

$shape = $_product->getAttributeText('shape');
