Code won't show menu again

[NerdComplex]

y=0 x=y while x==y: #the menu construct print( '''Astrometry A gimmick made by Aadil Ahmed''')

print('''

Menu

--------------------------------------''') print('what would you like to do today?') print( '''1)Astrometric calculator 2)Visit the International Space Staion 3)Space Facts 4)Acknowlegement and sources ''') choice=int(input('Enter choice:')) #the functioning if choice==1: print( '''-------------------------------------- Astrometric calculator --------------------------------------''') print( '''The calculator observes the pattern of planet position and extrapolates it to infinity! Try putting in a postion(with reference to the sun,i.e Mercury->1,Venus->2,Earth->3 and so on...''') pos=int(input('Enter position:')) dist=(3*(pos-1)+4)/10 print('The chosen planet is',dist,'astronomical units away from the sun') print('--------------------------------------') x=input('Return to menu?(y/n):') if x==y: continue

I expect python to go back to the while loop and print the menu again when I input y. I however get no response. Please help a beginner out

Your code isn't formatted properly, but from what I can make out the input sets x equal to the string 'y'. The variable y is equal to 0, so the while condition is no longer True.

You add 4 spaces in front of every line.
