Problem with a 'break' statement. - christopher3786 - Jun-20-2020
I have indented and have tried moving the 'break' statement around, but I keep receiving this error. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
prompt = "\nPlease enter the name of a city you have visited:"
prompt += "\n(Enter 'quit' when you are finished.) "
while True:
city = input(prompt)
if city == 'quit':
break
else:
print(f"I'd love to go to {city.title()}!")Error:File "main.py", line 6
break
^

Clearly, your
if and else statements aren't insider the loop. Lines 5 and 8 should be indented at the same level as line 4 and so on.

Hi,
Maybe you want to examine the indentation starting line 5.

Your indentation from line 5 is wrong - they aren't in the loop
