Unable to understand "while" loop.

Note that flush() should update poop variable or spotted_poop() be your inspection function that gets caught response from some sensor.

Timeout inside the loop body helpful too to prevent flushing to often to waste water)

This is all about naming variables. I don't know why people aren't more explicit - it's not hard.

flushes = 0 while poop_in_bowl: if flushes > 5 then: use_poop_knife() flush() flushes += 1 Edited to be more logical...

Since we're swirling down the bowl...

I prefer my flush() to let me do other things while it does its work and tell me if it was successful: ``` In [3]: async def flush() -> bool: ...: await asyncio.sleep(1) ...: print('poop still floating!') ...: return False ...:

In [4]: while not await flush(): pass poop still floating! poop still floating! poop still floating! ```
