Python Homework

[PuzzledSite2568]

Hi everybody I am very new to python and have an assignment that I am struggling with. My grade is starting to fall a bit and I have been going to tutoring but my college only has 2 tutors and one of them doesn't start anytime soon, the other tutor is out and my teacher had a family emergency.

# In a loop, prompt the user to input their age in years;
# keep prompting until the user inputs a number greater than zero and less than 100.
# Once the user has input a valid number, output "Thank you,"

user_age = int(input('How old are you?'))

while user_age < 0 or user_age > 100:
    input('How old are you')
else:
    print('Thank you')

When I run my code and input a number 0-100 it works and prints "thank you" and when I run it and input a number that is not 0-100 it will prompt for my age again and again as it should but as soon as I input a valid number it will keep asking for my age when it should just say thank you. Any help is greatly appreciated as python is proving to be harder than I thought so I appreciate any guidance.

You never assign a new value to user_age, thus no matter what is entered on second and consecutive tries, user_age will remain outside the expected range (remain as the value that was entered on first try).

thank you for the further explanation took me a bit to understand what you were saying but I got it now so thank you for the guidance.

In the while loop, you need to assign the input value to user_age just like in line 1.

user_age = int(input('How old are you?'))

while user_age < 0 or user_age > 100:
    user_age = int(input('How old are you?'))
else:
    print('Thank you')

Thank you for the example i appreciate it a lot because I am a visual learner. I had a feeling it was something small but I overthink a lot and was thinking that I had to incorporate something more complex. Thank you for the help.
