Python while loop keeps repeating itself

Question

Simple question but it is driving me nuts. why when I run this code does it just keep repeating itself? And my indentations are correct just had to space 4 times to post this for whatever reason.

High Scores

0 - Exit 1 - Show Scores

Source code:

scores = []
choice = None
while choice != "0":
print(
"""
High Scores
0 - Exit
1 - Show Scores
"""
)
choice = input("choice: ")
print()
if choice == "0":
print ("exiting")
elif choice == "1":
score = int(input("what score did you get?: "))
scores.append(score)
else:
print ("no")
input ("\n\nPress enter to exit")

• Two-Bit Alchemist: Are you sure you're running Python 3?
• Jacob Moore: sayan 98 is was my identation under my while loop. thank you
• sayan: @JacobMoore happy to help!

Answer 1

This is because you are not using proper indentation. Please indent the code under the while loop that you want to execute while choice != 0

Further there is no mistake with comparison as @wookie919 wrongly indicated because you're taking a String as input and not an Int. You can however typecast your input as a string by wrapping it around an int() like int(input("Choice .. "))

Hope it helped.

Answer 2

It's because you are comparing an Integer to a String. Try entering "0" instead of just 0. Or modify your program to compare with 0 instead of "0".

• Two-Bit Alchemist: Where is OP comparing an int to a string?
• wookie919: @Two-BitAlchemist It's an educated guess after trying OP's code.
