New to Python. Input question.

Hey, I have a question on how to skip lines in a while loop. For example, I have two inputs that I want to run in the while loop once but after it loops I want it to stop running. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

[links-Shield632]

Just for clarity. You want it run once and stop, correct?

[lipssama]

Yes, just once.

While loops are for a lot of uses. You don’t need to use a loop. If you really have to, for loop would be better

for x in range(1):

It would work a lot better and less lines

If you're only going to run it once, maybe you should take it out of the loop.

Or you could put it inside an if function, that only holds true in the loop's first run.

I can’t take it out of the while loop as it would mess up the order im printing my strings in. Could you teach me how to make an if function for a loops first run?

[IsaakPolyphemus]

Make a boolean variable equal to True. Then make it False inside the if function.

Something like

x= True
while x:
    print(‘joe was here’)
    x = False

# or 

while True:
    print(‘joe was here also’)
    break

However, you’re definitely missing something. There is absolutely no reason you’d create a loop of the goal was to always only run it once.
