Hi @Nathanielcodes

Hi again,

I think you need to start by deciding how you are going to store the values once you have asked the user for each of them. I can see in your code that you are asking the user to enter information which is then saved in a variable, but if you loop this 4 times you will only be able to access the last piece of information entered.

I recommend looking into 1D parallel arrays or records (I teach use of @dataclass to create record structures). Once you have created the right structure you just need to loop around the first four lines of code and keep appending new information to the structure. Hope this helps!

This is what my code looks like currently:

Name_enter = input("Enter name : ")
Age = int(input("Enter age : "))
Race = input("Enter race : ")
Birthday = int(input("Enter date of birth : "))
After = print("Would you like another record")
while After == "Yes":
	Cay = input("Enter name : ")

You can format your code in the forum by putting ``` before and after the code block. Looks really nice when you do this.

The last two lines of code will create an infinite loop, so watch out for that.

How would i loop the four lines of code with a while loop

Why does it have to be a while loop? Can’t you use a for loop?

Here’s an example of each, so you can choose the best one:

counter = 0
while counter < 4:
    # do things
    counter = counter + 1

for counter in range(0,4):
    # do things

Hi @Nathanielcodes

Please take a look at some of the excellent online tutorials to learn more about this. I recommend Higher Computing Revision - Parallel Arrays as a starting point.

Re the loop I gave you two examples. The space where I wrote #do things should be where you put the first four lines.

Append is used to add new values to arrays, for example:

anArray = []
anArray.append("a value")
anArray.append("another value")

Will give you an array that looks like this:

["a value", "another value"]

Ohhh is that for me to print the values at the end or ask questions.
