Bc theres no if to pair it with

If u want the while to be the if u just put an if after the while outside of it

If u want to return to the loop after the else perhaps u should use a while True with an if an elif and an else containing break

Also not = but ==

I think what u want here is to put the print outside of the while and remove the elif

That's what i initally saw in the tutorial, but I was just confused as to why the method I did just didn't work

Im still a little confused as to why that doesn't work out

[mint creek]

Bc elif pairs with an if

[indigo otter]

is that always the case?

[mint creek]

Also it should be on the same level as the if it pairs with

So even if it would work it ahould be outside of the loop

And if it is than the else part is no longer needed

[indigo otter]

ahhhhhh

yes that makes sense, thank you!

Loop else actually exist to but only for for

!for-else

The for-else block

In Python it's possible to attach an else clause to a for loop. The code under the else block will be run when the iterable is exhausted (there are no more items to iterate over). Code within the else block will not run if the loop is broken out using break.

Here's an example of its usage:

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]

for number in numbers:
    if number % 2 == 0:
        print(f"Found an even number: {number}")
        break
    print(f"{number} is odd.")
else:
    print("All numbers are odd. How odd.")

Try running this example but with an even number in the list, see how the output changes as you do so.

!e it exists for both kinds of loops:py x = 20 while x > 10: x -= 1 else: print('While loop exited naturally')

I was thinking it may but only known for for
