Hi, hope you're doing good.Could someone please tell me why does the while loop not stop when I type in rock, paper or scissors?

Question

Here's the code:

while True:
choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]

user_choice = input("What is your choice, rock,paper or scissors: ")
if not user_choice == choices[0] or choices[1] or choices[2]:
print("Please enter rock, paper or scissors! ")

Answer 1

This should be the code:

while True:
choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]

user_choice = input("What is your choice, rock,paper or scissors: ")
if user_choice not in choices:
print("Please enter rock, paper or scissors! ")

Answer 5

Lochard he never asked for it to break, he asked for the loop to work. it was best if he figured the rest out himself

Answer 6

He asked why the while loop does not stop when he types in one of the choices in the title. So I guess that's what he wants.

You are right about letting him figure out though. I guess I just wanted to practice coding.
