What doesn't work?

[verbal trench]

This is a code for quiz and everytime you got a question wrong, your life will -1 but when the life is smaller than 0 the while loop didn't stop :(

[golden abyss]

Also provide full code including

• Where you define maths_question
• Where you define m_options, m_answers

[golden abyss]

Can you show the execution?

[golden abyss]

Oh wait

I know why now

[verbal trench]

:)

You run for loop in while loop

So it would only end when you complete the entire set of questions

If you have no life left

And if you have, it repeat again

A simple work around
At the end of the for loop (indent level 2)
Add

if life <= 0: # Indent level 2
    break #indent level 3

ok!

tysm, it works now :)

[hardy solar]

no need for the while loop now unless you want them to redo all the questions and in that case you can just do while True: as you are already checking the number for lives left after each answer, but you probably want to reset the number of lives and the score before the next run through then as well
