🔒 Return to old while function

[slate leaf]

Hey I am pretty new to programming in general I have a small question. As a little practice I wanted to do a simple program that checks if some conditions are met for a username and a password. The problem that I am facing is, after one if statement is complete, it never returns to check if that statement is still true for the new username or password. It simply just checks for the new condition. Is there a way to keep checking all my conditions that I set? Thanks in advance 😄

#Headline
print("Hello User, please enter your Username and password down below")

#User Inputs
user = input("Enter your username: ")

while user == "":
    print("You did not fil out your username!")
    user = input("Enter your username: ")

password = input("Enter your password: ")

while password == "":
    print("You did not enter a password!")
    password = input("Enter your password: ")

#Criteria Checks
while len(user) < 4 or len(user) > 10:
    if len(user) < 4 or len(user) > 10:
      print("Your username needs to be between 4 and 10 letters long")
      user = input("Enter your username: ")

while not user.isalpha():
    if not user.isalpha():
        print("Your username can not contain any numbers")
        user = input("Enter your username: ")

print(user)```

Hey @slate leaf!

It looks like you incorrectly specified a language for your code block.

Make sure you put your code on a new line following py. There must not be any spaces after py.

Here is an example of how it should look:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

[zealous rock]

you have to put them inside the same loop

[slate leaf]

the same while loop?

[zealous rock]

yes

[minor crypt]

you need to create another while loop to handle that logic

[slate leaf]

are the other conditions then stated in an elif??

[minor crypt]

you should create one while loop just to verify the username

if you have multiple conditions you want to check at once, it's better to use a while True loop

and then break the loop when all your conditions are met

[slate leaf]

how can i implement a '''while True''' with this

[minor crypt]

while True:
    username = input("Enter your username")
    if len(username) < 8:
        print("Username too short")
    elif not username.isalpha():
        print("Letters only")
    else:
        break

it would look something like this

you can expand on it as needed with whatever conditions you require

Thanks a lot that really helped me

[trim jungle]

if you use indicators, like username_accepted, pw_accepted.. you could allow for starting over without needing to restart the script
