Help with python

I have this code if statement code and I want to add a while loop so that if the user input wrongly it will tell them to go back to the previous question. but I don't know how. ex add=input(" You will have to add these documents together. if you choose the left side type LEFT if you choose the right side type RIGHT) if add.upper()=='LEFT': LEFT=input('Nice choice so we will open the documents using .... and another choice selections) elif add.upper()=='RIGHT': RIGHT=input() else: print("Wrong choice please try again") (and then it should bring out the "add" question here for them to try again)

Place the whole code within while(True): For it to go infinitely. If there is a stopping condition, then put that in place of True

Chioma Chieke Set up your while loop with an exit condition, then place your code within it. Your code will keep repeating until the exit condition is met.

it's not working. I have nested if statements. and I want each to go to the question in a case where the user input something wrong

while(True): add=input(" You will have to add these documents together. if you choose the left side type LEFT if you choose the right side type RIGHT") if add.upper()=='LEFT': LEFT=input('Nice choice so we will open the documents using .... and another choice selections') elif add.upper()=='RIGHT': RIGHT=input() else: print("Wrong choice please try again")

Then wherever you find they did not enter the right choice, write continue

What the keyword 'continue' does is that it leaves whatever code that is written below the keyword and returns back to the loop statement

okay but it breaks the program instead of returning back

Please read the comments inside so that you understand the code well, because sololearn doesn't have a terminal the input is written when a white box is showed to user. As you want the program to run dynamically, while sololearn offer coding ground only which will allow the program to run partially dynamic which means your code will run but not allowing user to input data and run recursively. https://code.sololearn.com/cu3V9WA2A48f/?ref=app

I think the best way to solve this problem is to put every thing in a while loop.The header should be like this: while add.upper() !='LEFT' and add.upper()!='RIGHT':
