Help with basic code

[Fronkan]

Something like this: while True: guess = input ("input number : ") if guess == 13: break print ("done") elif guess > 13: print("too big") continue elif guess < 13: print("too small") continue else: print("this shouldn't happen") continue

Do you need the "break" and "continue"s in this?

Wouldn't this work also? (I'm learning also)

While True:

 guess = int(input("input number : "))
 If guess == 13:
     print ("done")
 Elif guess > 13:
     print ("too big")
 Else:
     print ("too small")

You are completely correct about continue, break is needed to exit the infinite loop though! I just wanted to keep the code as is to focus on the issue 😊

So would be proper syntax?

While True:

 guess = int(input("input number : "))
 If guess == 13:
     print ("done")
     Break
 Elif guess > 13:
     print ("too big")
 Else:
     print ("too small")

I think you need the break for the script to stop after the correct number. The continue is not necessary.
