try except

[timcain007]

I got it to work half way but having little trouble with input. if the user enters the correct height but enters a str for width. it goes back to asking height. i need it to ask for width again and then get the area. any help or direction pls.

Write a program that reads the dimension of a rectangle and prints its area. The program must handle errors such invalid input. If it encounters an error, it should ask the user to reenter the input.

def ask_for_int():  #function to get input from user
    
    while True:
    
        try:    # while loop to continually try and except instead of ending
            num1 = int(input('Enter height: '))
            
            num2 = int(input('Enter width: '))
            
        except: 
            print('is not a valid input. Try again')
            continue
        else:
            
            print('The area is {}'.format(num1*num2))
        break
            
ask_for_int()

output>>>>
Enter height: 10
Enter width: ddd
is not a valid input. Try again
Enter height: 10
Enter width: 10
The area is 100
