How to break out of multiple loops?

Question

Given the following code (that doesn\'t work):

while True:
    #snip: print out current state
    while True:
        ok = get_input(\"Is this ok? (y/n)\")
          


        

Answer 1

# this version uses a level counter to choose how far to break out

break_levels = 0
while True:
    # snip: print out current state
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y":
            break_levels = 1        # how far nested, excluding this break
            break
        if ok == "n" or ok == "N":
            break                   # normal break
    if break_levels:
        break_levels -= 1
        break                       # pop another level
if break_levels:
    break_levels -= 1
    break

# ...and so on
