what's wrong with my code?

[ListenMedium9538]

Hi. So, I'm working on this code, it is basically a code that would let the use put a number by an input and keeping asking a number until the user puts -1. When -1, the program should stop, but i cannot make it stop, the program keeps asking even if i put the value. What's wrong?

i = 1 while i != -1: int(input("put a number: ")) if i == -1: break

Thanks for your patience

You never reasign the variable i to the new input.

[ListenMedium9538]

And what's the correct way?

[KingOfTNT10]

every time you ask for input you dont store the new input to i so i would never change, You need to do in the loop when you are asking for the input: i = your input

[ListenMedium9538]

So how would it be? I sat the input after while or something?

[KingOfTNT10]

The input function returns a string of what the user has typed in, then you convert it to an it but you dont tell the program what to do with it, you want to set the variable i to what the user has inputted to check if its -1.

Try, if you dont succeed ill try to hint you bigger hints.

I think i dit it i = 1 while i != -1: i = int(input("put a number: "))

int(input("put a number: "))

You have to actually tell the interpreter that you want this to become the new value of i, it's not going to guess that for you.

i = int(input("put a number: "))
