[solved] Weird error in this challenge

It keeps telling me "Bummer! Try again" with absolutely no feedback or error message and I don't understand why.

Here's my code:

loop
  answer = get_answer()
  break if answer == 'e'
end
loop.rb 
# Assume get_answer() is already defined

loop
  answer = get_answer()
  break if answer == 'e'
end

Got it... Forgot to add do after loop.

I'm glad you got it. Here's an example anyway. I haven't tested it yet.

loop do answer = get answer if answer == 'e' break end

Thanks for the reply. I keep forgetting either the do or the end keywords. I think i am better sticking with the curly braces as block delimiters although I understand that it goes against the established convention for blocks larger than one liners.
