"for x in range(1,100):" how do i make it stop once i get one right?

[vegtard]

so im writing this program. i wont bother with posting the whole thing, cause its like 200 lines and ive barely started. (huge potensial for error, the way i like it)

anyways, in the part ive completed of my program, theres a very large chance that the program will not be able to execute. so i put this bugger on top of it:

for x in range(1,100):

when i run my program, it works like 3 or 4 times. the problem is, it then prints all the individual answers it got 3 or 4 times. so my question is, how do i make it print only the first answer it gets?

any help is apprechiated. :)

I don't really understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to break out of the for loop when something happens:

for x in range(1, 100):
# something happens
    break            #breaks out of the loop

I don't quite follow you, but it could just be a matter of indentation:

>>> for i in range(5):
...     print 'testing in loop %d' %i
...     print 'test value = %d' %(i**2)
...     

testing in loop 0
test value = 0
testing in loop 1
test value = 1
testing in loop 2
test value = 4
testing in loop 3
test value = 9
testing in loop 4
test value = 16

>>> for i in range(5):
...     print 'testing in loop %d' %i
...     
# by de-indenting here only the last value shows up
>>> print 'test value = %d' %(i**2)

testing in loop 0
testing in loop 1
testing in loop 2
testing in loop 3
testing in loop 4

test value = 16
>>>
