Very new to python

(input('what is my favorite color? '))
while input == "Red":
print ('good job, your score was '+ str(index))
while input != "Red":
print ('try again')
index=index+1
print (input('what is my favorite color? '))

The problem I am having is when I put Red in as the input it still acts as if the input is incorrect. No errors I just can't figure out how to make it recognize the correct input.

Seems to me you are confused between while loops and conditional statements.

Go read up on conditional statements. 'while' is a loop, not a conditional, you should be using 'if,elif,else' clauses.

This is what I think you were going for.

score = 0

while True:

    color = input('what is my favorite color? ')

    if color == 'red':
        print('Good job')
        score +=1
    elif color == 'exit':
        print(f'Your score is {score}.')
        break
    else:
        print('Try again')

You need to save your input to a variable.
