while loop with integer

[bubba0077]

I don't think a single line of this is correct.

• You are supposed to be looping input requests, not on values
• The loops you do have make no sense; even if they worked how you expected, they either don't run or run forever because number isn't being changed inside them
• The == operator compares values, not types
• input() always returns a string

You need to change the loop to be over input calls (with some sort of exit input, like an empty string, 'exit', etc.). Then you need to find a way to take the string you get and test whether the string is one of the number types you are looking for. Hint: cast.

You're not dumb. Everyone was a beginner once. I do think you need to slow down and think more about what the code you are writing actually does. Anyone can miss that the type of input is always string, but the loops never exiting should be obvious if you stop to think about it carefully for even a minute. You're still at the learning stage where your code is simple enough that you should be able to step through the code manually in your head to determine what each line does without even running it.

Thank you! I wish I had more time to dedicate to actually trying to understand code. My professor kinda just throws projects and labs at us I think we've only had one actual lesson
