🔒 Simple bank program is looping endlessly?

[cyan cliff]

I am trying to make a simple banking program with check balance, withdraw, deposit, and exit options. It is endlessly looping. I am just currently trying to be able to input a “choice” value of 1-4.

———————————————-————————————

Python Banking Program

def show_balance():
pass

def deposit():
pass

def withdraw():
pass

balance = 0
is_running = True

while is_running:
print("Banking Program")
print("1. Check Balance")
print("2. Deposit")
print("3. Withdrawal")
print("4. Exit")

choice = input("Enter your choice (1-4)")

if choice == "1":
show_balance()

elif choice == "2":
deposit()

elif choice == "3":
withdraw()

elif choice == "4":
is_running = False

else:
print("Your choice is not valid.")

Remember to:

• 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.

Hard to tell since it's not in a codeblock, but it looks like you need to indent those last few lines, otherwise it would just spam print.

Also, instead of is_running you could just say while True: and use break instead of setting it to False, but that doesn't really matter too much.

Your choise...if/eif/... is outside the loop.

How do i put it in a code block? Apologies i am an extreme noob 😅

Indent it the same as the prints for the menu.

THANK YOU

[hybrid igloo]

You can put it in a code block with

```
