Use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. Or watch this video on code formatting.

231,236 PointsPython is the only language I know that allows an "else" after a loop. It is executed if and when the loop ends by failing the conditional expression. It is not executed if you "break" out of the loop.
