Help. Me. Please.

Apparently I have something wrong, with “break”, to be more exact. It’s always outside loop, and IDK how to fix it. Any ideas? while True: print("Options:") num1 = int(input("Enter number")) num2 = int(input("Enter another number:")) operation = input("Enter your operation:") if operation == quit: break elif operation == "+": print("The answer is " + str(num1 + num2)) else: print("wat")

Alisher Berdibekov Indentation is the most important thing in python. A code is made of blocks of instructions. To determine blocks, we use indentation. Let say we have a loop, to know which part will be looped, and which will not, this is how: for i in range(10): print(1) print(2) This will print 1 ten times, and then 2. Now the second code: for i in range(1): print(1) print(2) This will print 1 2 ten times, and not just one. Did this make things clear?

Well.. it is outside the loop...? Put everything inside the loop.

Check your indentation of that line of code in relation to the while loop

Alisher Berdibekov I think this video is a good introduction for indentation with if/else statements: https://youtu.be/DZwmZ8Usvnk

Alisher Berdibekov yes, indentation is how things are done. Let me try and find a video where it is well explained.
