Hello all, I was following along in a book called 'Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner' by Michael Dawson and I ran into an odd problem with a loop. Dawson has the following code in his book:
health = 10 trolls = 0 damage = 3 while health != 0: trolls += 1 health -= damage This seems simple enough. (This is an example of a non-terminating loop, by the way, so it is not suppose to work correctly.) My problem is that when I enter this into IDLE, and hot enter a few times. I never get my prompt (>>>) back. It just lets me hot enter a bunch of time as though it is expecting more input from me. I tried making a similar loop and it gave me my prompt back just fine. Does anyone know what might be going on here? Thanks, Yanni
