Python keeps looping when it gets past the int 0, how do I end the
program
when it the int 0 or > 0.
while True:
if mo_hp < 0:
print "The Lich King has been slain!"
elif my_hp < 0:
/etc...
When using a while True loop you need ttto have an explicit break
statement somewhere to get out. Personally I like to keep that
statement
near the top of the loop if possible - just so that I can
find it easily!
So in your case I'd add a test like
if mo_hp >= 0:
break
right at the top of the loop.
If there were other statements after the loop these would then
get executed but since you don't your program will naturally
terminate.
Note that if you had an else clause in your while loop(quite unusual)
it does not get executed after a break - the only useful feature I've
found for a loop else condition!
ie
while True:
break
else: print 'never executed'
print 'exited'
