Step 6 – Looping the program
I want to make the user keep doing the question until they get it right. I'm mean like that.
To do this I need to use a loop.
THEORY: when we use a loop we're doing repetition. That means doing a section of code more than once. Because I'm going to need to do this until the answer is right, I need to use a while loop.
There's a few things to do here, so take care.
- First set a new variable called correct to be equal to False
We need this to be set before we start to use it
- Then set up the while line
What we're doing here is saying, do this all the time that correct is False
- Then you need to indent the rest of the code. A standard indent is 4 spaces, but a quick way to do this is to use the TAB key (top left of the keyboard, above Caps Lock)
- Then add a line to set correct to True if they get the answer right
- Delete the line where you give them the right answer
We don't need this if we're going to make them give an answer until they get it right!
- Now run the program
That should work, but the indents are tricky so you might run into problems. Take care, check the screenshot and read the error messages.
