Hi Yehuda,

This is a conditional that is used to check and make sure that player_num is a valid number between 1 and 10.

The code in the conditional outputs a message and breaks out of the loop if player_num is either not greater than 0 or if it is not less than 11.

  if not player_num > 0 or not player_num < 11:
    print("That number isn't between 1 and 10!")
    break

Hi Yehuda,

It's saying that if the number (or in the code that you provided, user) is not greater than 0, or user is not less than zero then break. It is the same as saying if user is less than 0 or greater than 11, break because the number is not in the 1-10 range.

Let me know if you have any questions.
