Can anyone help me with the programme below; i hope you can see what i am
trying to do, if i enter the wrong password the loop goes on forever and if i
enter the right one nothing is printed...
i am a newbie............all comments welcome
thanks adrian................
print 'hello'
print 'i am your computer'
# set the values
password='route9999'
Enter_Password=raw_input ('please enter your password: ')
This sets the password once, outside the loop.
#password loop
while Enter_Password != password:
if Enter_Password !=password:
print 'try again'
else:
print 'well done'
This loops forever, but never asks for a password. You need to ask for a
password *inside* the loop.
actual_password = 'route9999'
given_password = ''
while given_password != actual_password:
given_password = raw_input('please enter your password: ')
if given_password == actual_password:
print 'well done'
else:
print 'try again'
