newbie having trouble - defining

how do I define 'while true' in this program.



# this program is suppose to count from 1 to 10 and skip 5

The while statement will loop as long as the expression next to it is true. Using the word "True" is like using while 1:, or in other words, it will loop forever. You don't need to define the "True" constant, because it is built into Python, so just use "True".

To answer the question in your other thread: The variable "count" is used to count the amount of interations, and once it passes 10, the loop exits.

This information is all avaible on Python's website, so please have a look: Python.org

A better way to do this would be to use a while expression instead of True i.e.



you can also use a for loop for this simple task.



In this instance using a while True loop is a waste of time but its up to you.

Hope this helps
