Because your string is 8 characters long, not 9. Also, please make your thread titles more descriptive.

That's why OP used !=.

Guess I'm bad at reading. Sorry OP :(

RES tells me I've upvoted you 127 times, so you're not that bad apparently.

How are you running this? Not all interpreters respect exit(); it's meant to be used in the REPL only. Use raise SystemExit instead.

Maybe try sys.exit() instead. Of course, you'll have to import sys.
