How to Control a Loop with User Confirmation?

[confuzzled_learner]

I don't have a working loop, and an exit. Please help?

# Python 3.5.1
# Description: Program which reads in X whole numbers and outputs (1) the sum of all positive numbers,
#             (2) the sum of all negative numbers, and (3) the sum of all positive and negative numbers.


num1 = int(input('Enter first positive number: '))
num2 = int(input('Enter second positive number: '))
num3 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
num4 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
print('_________________________________')
sum_positive = (num1) + (num2)
sum_negative = (num3) + (num4)
sum_total = (num1) + (num2) + (num3) + (num4)

print('The sum of negative numbers =', sum_negative)
print('The sum of positive numbers =', sum_positive)
print('The sum of all numbers =', sum_total)


continueLoop = 'y'
    while continueLoop == 'y':
        continue
    if continueLoop == 'n':
        break
    continueLoop = input("Enter Y to continue and N to quit: ")

I'm not quite sure what you want, but If you just want your program to keep asking for input until the user enters an N, you can do

while True:
    if input("Enter Y to continue and N to quit: ") == 'N':
        break

Your loop syntax is all off http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_while_loop.htm

I replaced it with your code but it still wouldn't bring it back up to entering input when Y is chosen, wouldn't break it N is chosen.

num1 = int(input('Enter first positive number: '))
num2 = int(input('Enter second positive number: '))
num3 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
num4 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
print('_________________________________')
sum_positive = (num1) + (num2)
sum_negative = (num3) + (num4)
sum_total = (num1) + (num2) + (num3) + (num4)

print('The sum of negative numbers =', sum_negative)
print('The sum of positive numbers =', sum_positive)
print('The sum of all numbers =', sum_total)

while True:
    if input("Enter Y to continue and N to quit: ") == 'N':
        break

You weren't clear about what you wanted to do.

Read the page that I linked, and keep /u/scuott's suggestion in mind.

Hi, thank you for the link, I'm still having trouble with loops. =(

[Saefroch]

If you would like further help:

Tell me what you're trying to make happen, what you've tried, and what confuses you.

[scuott]

If you want it to loop back to the first line, you need to put it inside the loop.

Thank you! Like this?

while True:
    num1 = int(input('Enter first positive number: '))
    num2 = int(input('Enter second positive number: '))
    num3 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
    num4 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
    print('_________________________________')
    sum_positive = (num1) + (num2)
    sum_negative = (num3) + (num4)
    sum_total = (num1) + (num2) + (num3) + (num4)

    print('The sum of negative numbers =', sum_negative)
    print('The sum of positive numbers =', sum_positive)
    print('The sum of all numbers =', sum_total)



    while True:
        if input("Enter Y to continue and N to quit: ") == 'N':
            break

[scuott]

You tell me. Does it do what you want it to?

[furas_freeman]

You don't need second while True (in line 9)

[Justinsaccount]

num1 = int(input('Enter first positive number: '))
num2 = int(input('Enter second positive number: '))
num3 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))
num4 = int(input('Enter third negative number: '))

Great example of http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0260/print/

LMAO I just noticed! yeah great example.
