While loop setup

For the setup of my while loop, I used:

while tickets_remaining > 0:

instead of the suggested, while tickets_remaining >= 1

Would this still work in the same way?

Hi, Yasmin. It should give exactly the same answers in this case. In some situations, those could be different values, but for this problem they will work the same. If the value could result in any number between 0 and 1, then >0 and <=1 would give different answers.
