Question

I am trying to do the continue exercise and I am not able to add thing to my loop.

Answer 1

Step1 : while:
If input is negetive value, then ages<0 becomes true and enter to loop otherwise dont, loop never runs. If true then ages>=2 becomes false and ages<=2 becomes true and executes continue (but even without continue, it goes on to continue , its useless to put continue there since its last statement). And goes to step1while.
And it will be repeated infinite times because ages<0 is always true. You are not changing ages value..
Hence it never comes to execute print(total)

You should change value ages in every iteration..

total = 0
ages = int(input())
while ages > 0:
ages = ages+1
if ages > 2:
total =+100
break
if ages < 2:
continue

print(total)

This works for negetive number input and upto ages>=2 is true then adds 100 and breaks loop ...

Answer 2

Since ages are not negative, the while ages < 0 will never run

Answer 3

Can you please show us your code and the challenge question?

Answer 4

total = 0
ages = int(input())
while ages == int:
if ages > 2:
total =+100
if ages < 2:
continue

print(total)

Answer 5

Marcus Porter
what are trying by ages==int ; its a error ..
If 'int' is something other variable with assigned some value then , if condition true then it becomes infinite loop because you are not changing ages value for condition to becomes false. Hence it infinite loop..

Answer 6

I think I updated now so it is not looping and the code finished faster now but the total portion doesn't add regardless of the condtion.

total = 0
ages = int(input())
while ages < 0:
if ages >= 2:
total =+100
if ages <= 2:
continue

print(total)

if an age is under 3 it should not add 100 to the total

Thanks everyone it gave me the push I needed to help me solve this problem.
