[Tutor] While and for loops

[wesley chun]

> Can you run for loops in while loops and if yes, why did my if condition not break the loop?

todd,

welcome to Python! you're right in that your questions are related to
each other because the answer to both of your questions is the same:
you can only break out of the innermost loop (from where you have your
break statement). if you need to break out of the outer one, you need
another break statement not contained in another loop.

hope this helps!
