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

You can define a variable( for example break_statement ), then change it to a different value when two-break condition occurs and use it in if statement to break from second loop also.

while True:
    break_statement=0
    while True:
        ok = raw_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "n" or ok == "N": 
            break
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y": 
            break_statement=1
            break
    if break_statement==1:
        break
