i have a duel loop that looks like this
while y > 0 and x > 0:
This is not any kind of loop its a while expression.
It should have a body and that would then constitute
a single while loop not a dual loop ( a duel lop has
something to do with repeatedly settling matters of
honor! :-)
i cant figure out if there is a way to make so if one
loop ends it says something different than if the
other loop ends.
I'm not certain what you mean by that but I assume
you mean you want to determine which variable
went out of bounds?
If so you can use the else clause of a while loop:
while x > 0 and y > 0:
choice = raw_input('x or y?')
if choice == 'x': x = 0
else: y = 0
else:
if x <= 0: print 'it was x'
else: print 'it was y'
