Let's discuss the tasks we need to cover for this review of Python while loops.
Need help?
You can always review the While Loops video from Python Basics.

0:00
Howdy, Ken here.
0:09
In this Python practice session,
0:10
you'll get a chance to practice
working with While Loops.
0:12
It reinforces what you've learned.
0:15
If you find this practice session
too challenging to complete,
0:17
you might need to review a few videos.
0:21
I've put a few links in the teacher's
notes for some resources.
0:23
We'll be using workspaces for
this practice.
0:26
Go ahead and
open up the attached workspace.
0:29
Inside, looping.py,
there's some starter code.
0:32
The starter code includes some
TODO tasks for you to complete.
0:35
The task at hand is to ask someone
if they understand While Loops.
0:39
While they answer no, you print
out an explanation of while loops.
0:44
If they answer yes,
you print out a nice message,
0:49
thanking them for
learning about while loops.
0:51
Let's see it working in action.
0:54
Give ourself some space here Looping.py.
0:57
I'm asked for my name, my name is Ken.
1:05
And then if I understand
while loops in Python.
1:10
And look at that,
the prompt even uses my name.
1:13
If I answered no to the question, or
actually anything other than yes,
1:16
again a message explaining
Python while loops.
1:22
It then asks me again, using my name,
if I understand while loops.
1:25
As long as I keep answering no,
I get the same message.
1:31
When I enter yes, I get a nice message and
the program ends.
1:36
Don't worry if you get
stuck along the way.
1:42
I've included some links in the teacher's
notes to videos that cover the concepts
1:44
needed to complete this practice session.
1:48
When we get back together, I'll walk
you through how I did this challenge.
1:51
See you then, and happy coding.
