Unexpected input within a while loop - fier259 - May-12-2018
In this preliminary while loop, the user is asked to input an advantage. If they input 1,2, or 3 they while loop should say "Your stats been updated" and it does. But it also does for anything else, which I don't want it to do. Any help is appreciated.
valid = {'1', '2', '3'}
advantage = " "
while advantage not in valid:
advantage = input("Do you pick extra health [1], extra luck [2], or extra power [3]")
break
print ("Your stats have been updated")Thanks in advance

remove the break

Larz60+ solution woks, but just for completeness, here is an example of the loop using the
break. You mix the two approaches in your codevalid = {'1', '2', '3'}
while True:
advantage = input("Do you pick extra health [1], extra luck [2], or extra power [3]")
if advantage in valid:
break
print ("Your stats have been updated")
