Begin/Retry code error. Why?

I want the code to repeat from the "begin" when the "if" gets the "else" statement. It gives me ..\Playground\: ..\Playground\:24: Invalid retry (SyntaxError) THANKS! # Creates input method def input x = gets.to_i end #Begins the first choice begin puts "What will you do? 1- Get a closer look 2- Go in the opposite direction Write your input an press enter:" #Calls input method choice = input if choice == 1 puts "You get a closer look and..." elsif choice == 2 puts "You go in the opposite direction, out of trouble" else puts "Incorrect input, enter a number between the one's avaliables" end #Retries if the choice is error retry if choice != 1||2 end

The "retry" line looks wrong. You wanted to retry if the choice is not equal to1 and choice is not equal to 2, right? That if statement won't do that.

Exactly, so, How can I do it? Well, someone answered me in StackOverflow. I paste it # Creates input method UNUSED def input x = gets.to_i end loop do puts "What will you do?", "1- Get a closer look", "2- Go in the opposite direction", "Write your input and press enter:" choice = gets.to_i if choice == 1 puts "You get a closer look and..." break elsif choice == 2 puts "You go in the opposite direction, out of trouble" break else puts "Incorrect input, enter a number between the ones available:" end end
