break

Question

When trying the following example in IDLE 3.6.0, I get an error message:
i = 0
while 1==1:
print(i)
i = i + 1
if i >= 5:
print("Breaking")
break

print("Finished")

"SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement"

WHat do I do wrong?

Answer 1

You copy:
"i=0
while True:
etc.
"
So you have a statement (i=0) followed by another (while True: etc.) and IDLE doesn't like that.

You can copy first "i=0" and then the rest of the code

Thanks.
