That should be "NOTE the indentation after the while loop".
Also note the indentation after the if and else lines. Python
uses indentation to define 'blocks' of code. Another little
detail that may escape one's notice is that the first line
of each block ends with a colon. A block is finished when
the indentation ends. Blocks of code may be nested
within each other, as long as they are properly indented.

The programming challenge still stands! Kayla? (BTW, when
I say "tell me what the outcome is", I'm asking for your program
to produce some OUTPUT!)

Happy [Python] Programming!
