CONTINUE COMMAND AND EXIT LINE

 

The Continue Command 

The continue command stops executing code in the loop and starts at the top of the loop again. Essentially, we want to kick the user back to the original question.

EXAMPLE :

while True:

  print("You are in a corridor, do you go left or right?")

  direction = input("> ")

  if direction == "left":

    print("You have fallen to your death")

    break

  elif direction == "right":

    continue

  else:

    print("Ahh! You're a genius, you've won")

NOTE : 

The else statement refers to any input besides left or right (up or esc). Since the user is a winner, we do not want to use break or it would say they have failed. 

EXIT  COMMAND LINE 

The previous code continues to loop even after the user has won. Let's fix that with the exit() command

EXAMPLE:

print("Let's play chutes and ladders. Pick ladder or chute.")

while True:

  print("Do you want to go up the ladder or down the chute?")

  direction = input("> ")

  if direction == "chute"

    print("Game over!")

  break

  elif direction == "ladder":

    continue

else:

    print("Game over!")

    exit 

print("Thanks for playing!")
