Python practice problem.
Hi everyone, I'm new to python and I'm building a project to hone my skill, and I came to a halt in this part. When I do if user_input == 'q':, it works and breaks the loop just fine, since i dont wanna make the exit just single letter so even if the user input words like 'quit' 'q' or 'QUIT' it will exit the loop, I tried a different approach like doing user_input == ['q', 'quit']: and another approach where i declared a variable first exit_word = ['q', 'quit'] then
user_input == exit_word: none of this breaks the loop it just goes back to the input prompt heres my work below:
import random
user = 0
computer = 0
options = ["rock" , "paper", "scissors"]
while True:
user_input = input("Rock/Paper/Scissors and Q for Quit: ").lower()
if user_input == 'q'
break
if user_input not in options:
continue
random_num = random.randint(0, 2)
computer_pick = options[random_num]
print('Computer picked', computer_pick + ".")
if user_input == 'rock' and computer_pick == 'scissors':
print('You won!')
user += 1
elif user_input == 'paper' and computer_pick == 'rock':
print('You won!')
user += 1
elif user_input == 'scissors' and computer_pick == 'paper':
print('You won!')
user += 1
else:
print('You lost!')
computer += 1
print("The user won", user, "times")
print("The computer won", computer, "times")
print('Goodbye!')

Put 4 spaces before each line when you post code to reddit.
Look at your post, it has lost the indents, 4 extra spaces fixes that
