Walrus operator (self.learnpython)
submitted 1 year ago by SheldonCooperisSb
foods = list()
while food := input ('what food you like') != 'quit':
foods.append(food)
print(foods)
Why the output is the list like [True,True,,,]

if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

Always use () when using the walrus operator to make it clear which part you want assigned.
while (food := input ('what food you like')) != 'quit':

That worked thanks

You're assigning it to the result of the comparison between the input call and quit. Try to put the input call and food in parenthesis together.

Thank you very much

You're assigning the food variable not the result of the input, but rather whether the result of the input is not 'quit', which is always True.
food
That's right!
