"End" inside a loop

Question

When using an "end" inside a loop to end a program, it works properly for Code Coach challenges, but it displays an error message if I try to do the same on Jupyter Notebooks.

Why?

Is there a better option than using the "end" inside a loop to achieve the expected result?

Here is an example:

string = input()
chars_set = set()
for char in string:
if char in chars_set:
print('Deja Vu')
end
else:
chars_set.add(char)
print('Unique')

Answer 1

If you want to end the whole program you can import sys.

Then you can use sys.exit() at the desired location.
The program will then end properly.

Answer 2

end is not a Python keyword. Do you mean 'break'?

Answer 3

As HonFu mentions end is not a valid Python keyword, I think you are confusing it with other syntax for other language.

"break" is the Python substitute for end

Answer 4

"Break" would only end the loop, not the program.

Hi Isabela, it does not belong to this topic but I saw you mentioned some courses here, but I cannot find it.

Please, where I can find it?
