Need help fixing if/while statement

[SingingDoughnut]

Hi Im currently building a script game, soon to be image game. Having trouble with a part of a code.

ranger_join = raw_input("\nWill you let him?(y/n)? ")
 
if ranger_join == "y":
    print "The ranger joins you on your trip.  Yay."
 
elif ranger_join == "n":
    print "The ranger is offended and draws his sword.\n"
    # attacking the ranger
    weapon = raw_input("What weapon do you have? Oak Staff or Iron Sword? ")
    #using the Oak Staff
    if weapon == "oak staff":
        attack = 3
        print "\nYou draw your Oak Staff"
        attack = 3
        while ranger_health > 0:
            ranger_health = ranger_health - attack
            health = health - ranger_damage
 
            print "You're hero takes a swing and the ranger has", ranger_health, " health remaining."\
                  "But you have", health, "hit points remaining\n"
            if health <= 0:
                print "You died.  Bet you wish you stayed at the inn."
 
    # using the Iron Sword
    elif weapon == "iron sword":
        print "\nYou draw your Iron Sword"
        attack = 5
        while ranger_health > 0 or health > 0:
            ranger_health = ranger_health - attack
            health = health - ranger_damage
 
            print "You're hero takes a swing and the ranger has", ranger_health, " health remaining."\
                  "But you have", health, "hit points remaining\n"
            if ranger_health <= 0:
                print "It sucks"
                exit
            #gain an item for defeating ranger
 
            elif health <= 0:
                print "You died.  Bet you wish you stayed at the inn.\n"
 

This is for a fantasy type game. When the hero has been killed, the code keeps running until the ranger dies. How do I fix this up?

But later on I will be trying to create a function for turns at attacking.

Please post the code with [code ] and [/ code] to keep indentation !

To exit the while loop, when your hero dies, use "break"

if health <= 0:
    print "You died.  Bet you wish you stayed at the inn."
    break #used to immediately exit any for or while loop
