Hi, I'm working on this practice task which is like a quiz, When if the after is correct the question repeats all the time and not moving to the next question on the list?? Any inputs? Thanks

print("USE FUNCTION --> game()")
def main():
    pass


qs = ["Grass", "Horn", "Feather", "Laugh", "Smooth", "Mountain", "Abundance", "absorb", "cheapskate", "citizenship", "classify", "kingdom", "kilometer", "poet", "free"]
an = ["damo", "sungay", "balihibo", "tawa", "makinis", "bundok", "kasaganahan", "sipsipin", "barat", "pagkamamamayan", "suriin", "kaharian", "kilometro", "makata", "malaya"]


##def attempt():
##    count = 0
##    att = input("Ilagay ang iyong sagot: ")

##        break
    
def game():

    score = 0
    count = 0

#Select I then use range staring from 0 till the end minus
    while count < 3: 
        for i in range (0,3):
            student = input(qs[i]+ "\n Ilagay ang iyong sagot: ").upper()
    ##        while count < 3:
                                
            if student == an[i].upper():
                print("Correct\n")
                score += 1
              
            else:
                print("\n Wrong! Try Again\n")
                print("Attempt",count)
                count += 1

Hello, the "break" on line #39 should probably be indented. Now the break is always encountered on first for loop iteration.

    while count < 3: 
        for i in range (0,3):

Both of these statements do the same thing. They both access the first 3 questions.

else:
                print("\n Wrong! Try Again\n")
                print("Attempt",count)
                count += 1
                break

Tried putting inside the else and It always repeat to the 1 question when false. Thanks

Any idea how can I retain the same question if it's wrong?

To continue asking if the answer is wrong, use a while loop, and exit if the answer is correct. Something like:

        while True:
            student = input(qs[i]+ "\n Ilagay ang iyong sagot: ").upper()
                                 
            if student == an[i].upper():
                print("Correct\n")
                score += 1
                break
               
            else:
                print("\n Wrong! Try Again\n")
                print("Attempt",count)
                count += 1

                print("Attempt",count)
                count += 1

Result is the same, It;s keeps repeating the question once break has been initiated.

Well, where did you put it in the code? And did you fix the issue with the two loops you already have? For example, if you just put that within the for loop, and answer them correctly, it will keep asking the first three questions in order forever, because count is never updated, so the while count loop keeps repeating the for i loop.

I mean what is count supposed to do? Do you want the game to end after three wrong answers? If so, you need to remove the while count loop, and add an if count >= 3: break to the for i loop.

Hi, Put the code inside the while statement... But question still repeart.
Count is the attempt value for player, in this case if it falls to the wrong question.. program should give the player anoter attempt to answer the same question.

Then get rid of the while count loop, it's not doing anything.

Hi ichabod801, Thanks for your response....

Removed the while count and the for loop and I'm having issue with the input and I cannot run the program.

while True:
      student = input(qs[0,14]+ "\n Ilagay ang iyong sagot: ").upper()
                                  
      if student == an[0,14].upper():
          print("Correct\n")
          score += 1
          break
                  
      else:
          print("\n Wrong! Try Again\n")
          print("Attempt",count)
          count += 1
