• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

If it is your intent to post your code, if it fits, use the discord code block formatting.

!code

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

If it does not, the pastebin link is at your disposal.

[fluid magnet]

My issue is with the game logic and the flow of my loops when my choice is 's' the game continues to loop as if i have continued to input s

[fluid magnet]

One of the ways you're making it difficult for yourself is the way your main function is written.

You have a lot of code.

It needs to be broken up.

Each function should have exactly one purpose.

(Most generally)

Once you farm out code to the functions (or methods, when you get into class based stuff), you start to be able to manage your flow a lot easier, you start to be able to debug things a lot easier, because it's all less cluttered.

a
b
c
d
e
f```
```py
def alpha():
    a
    b
    c

def beta():
    d
    e
    f

alpha()
beta()```

You don't need to focus on a before b before c if d while f, etc.

You only have to think alpha() beta()

okay ill try and break it up thank you

i just know how i should write the functions to hanldle the logic for the choice being made to hit,stand,splt.double
