Python Basics / Letter Game / Code Challenge / "Exiting"

so, below code works to pass the challenge.... but it throw NameError: name 'what_was_inputted" is not defined. i am using v2.7.11 does it make any difference with v3.0 in this case?

import sys

movie = input("Do you want to start watching movie? Y/N")
for letter in movie:
    if letter == "n" or letter == "N":
        sys.exit()
    else:
        print("Enjoy the show!")

I don't understand why you are using a for loop when the string holds one letter:

After the line of your movie declaration I would just do:

if movie.lower() == 'n':

OK, this is sorted now,

there is no problem with indentation, basically for python-2.7 ALWAYS use 

raw_input

instead of 

input

Here try this:

import sys

movie = input("Do you want to start watching movie? Y/N")

if movie.lower()=='n':
  sys.exit()
else:
  print("Enjoy the show!")

your solution not to use "for" loop look better but still not working.

It just needs to be properly indented- I just typed it, I didn't run it.
