Python developer course Practice (time's up)

Question

I don't know why it doesn't work. Please can anyone explain to me?

# take the number as input
number=int(input())

#use a while loop for the countdown
while number<0:
print(number)
number=number-1

Answer 1

< means "smaller than".

when you enter 5, 5 < 0 is false and the loop will never execute.

Answer 2

Thank you
