Feedback if any

name = input("What's your name? ") print("{}, do you understand Python while loops?".format(name)) answer = input("Enter Yes/No: ")

while answer != 'Yes': if answer == 'No': print("Well, {}, while loops in Python repeat as long as a certain Boolean condition is met.".format(name)) answer = input("{}, now do you understand Python while loops?\nEnter Yes/No".format(name)) elif answer != 'Yes' or 'No': answer = input("Invalid answer. Try again...\nEnter Yes/No")

print("That's awesome, {}. I'm pleased that you understand while loops now. Let's move on.".format(name))

HEY: Just want to make sure it's readable. Thanks. -_-

Somewhere at the bottom of the page it says 'Markdown Cheatsheet' which shows you how to add code to the question like this:

name = input("What's your name? ")
print("{}, do you understand Python while loops?".format(name))
answer = input("Enter Yes/No: ")
while answer != 'Yes':
    if answer == 'No':
        print("Well, {}, while loops in Python repeat as long as a certain Boolean condition is met.".format(name))
        answer = input("{}, now do you understand Python while loops?\nEnter Yes/No".format(name))
    elif answer != 'Yes' or 'No':
        answer = input("Invalid answer. Try again...\nEnter Yes/No")
print("That's awesome, {}. I'm pleased that you understand while loops now. Let's move on.".format(name))

Basically, you put 3 backticks and the language at the start, and 3 backticks at the end. Hope this helps!

P.s, you could maybe add something like:

while answer.upper() != 'YES':

so that it doesn't matter if they enter in lower or upper case? Apart from that I can't see any problems, but I'm a noob lol.
