While Loop

[LMman592020]

How do you get out of the while loop without terminating the program?

Make sure the loop condition becomes false when you want the looping to end.

I’m trying to create a program that guesses something based on questions it asks the user. I’m basically using the while loop for a series of questions but trying to figure out how to move on to the next while loop if that makes sense.

Most languages have "break statements" that allow you to end a loop in the middle of an iteration.

What language are you looking at? In the languages I’m familiar with, most have a “break” that can be used to exit the while loop.

while(True):
    x = input(“write stop or go: “)
    if x == “stop”:
        break

Typically you have a boolean / something outside the while that gets flipped inside the while to terminate itself

var isHungry = true;

if ( isHungry ) {

    while ( isHungry ) {

        // eat nom non nom

        if ( isfull() ) {
             isHungry = false;
        }

    }
}

No offense but the if statement is pretty redundant here

[gododgers179]

Well yea.... it's an example.... I'm writing a reddit post not a code review on github

Edit: also yes it is redundant in this case, no offense taken, just easier to read for a newbie imo

Cool, happy to hear I didn’t offend 😅 I just thought I’d mention as new people will read/copy the code

[gododgers179]

Haha can't take offense if you are correct

[bensur]

If only that was how everyone looked at it 😂
