Menu Choice Selection not Working

[ChLenx79]

Morning all. Hope you are all well.

So I have recently started to learn python and i am a bit stuck.

I am working on a simple menu but for some reason, it just keeps looking even if i choose the option to quit (option 3).

Anyone able to tell me what I am doing wrong please? (Sorry i tried to use code snippet, but didn't work, hence "quote" instead, and hence the missing indentation)

choice = "0"

def mainMenuChoice():
	print("Please make a selection...")
	print("")
	print("1 - Option One")
	print("2 - Option Two")
	print("3 - Option Three (Quit)")

	menuChoice = input("Enter your choice: ")

	return menuChoice



while choice != 3 :

	choice = mainMenuChoice()

	if choice == 1:
		print("You chose option 1")

	elif choice == 2:
		print("You chose option 2")

quit()

Ok i found it... I need to convert the return value to an integer as the default is a string value and thus does not recognise the response as a correct value.
