What loop should I use to efficiently ask for the input again if a Value error occurs?

I would like to find out how i can loop the code n the video to ask for input again if a Value error happens, without needing to type the entire code again.

You could use a while loop to ask for input again. Here is a simple example of asking for input again, hope it helps.

word = input("what is the greeting?") 

while word != "hello":
    word = input("what is the greeting?")
