how do i stop the while function from looping and go onto the next condition

def guess(n):
import random
x = random.randint(1,1000000)
while n != x:
    if n < x:
        print("Too Low, Try Again")       
    elif n > x:
        print("Too High, Try Again")
if n == x :
    print("Congrats")
    again = print(input(str("Play Again Y/N?: ")))
    if again == Y:
        n = print(input(str("Input Number 'n': ")))
        print(guess(n))
    elif again == N:
        print("Goodbye")

How do i make the while loops stop looping if the condition is matched and move onto the next condition that i have stated. Thank you!

Use the break statement (it terminates the nearest enclosing loop), e.g. 

if n < x:
    print("Too Low, Try Again")       
elif n > x:
    print("Too High, Try Again")
else:
    break

As previously stated,your indentation is incorrect for the statement "while..." and also for the "if x==n" .Move it to two tabs to the right,as you want to run the loop till the player wants to play the game.In your given code, the loop is running where there is no increment in x .Now regarding the break condition you can try something like this.

    else:
       print("Goodbye")
       break

I'd write something like this:

import random


def guess():
    x = random.randint(1,1000000)
    n = x + 1  # make sure we get into the loop

    while n != x:
        n = input(str("Input Number 'n': "))
        if n < x:
            print("Too Low, Try Again")       
        elif n > x:
            print("Too High, Try Again")
        else:
            print("Congrats")
            break

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while True:
        guess()
        again = input(str("Play Again Y/N?: ") == 'N'

        if not again:
            break

You need to call a new input to change n. In your while statement, n is never redefined.

Try:

def guess(n):
import random
x = random.randint(1,1000000)
while n != x:
    if n < x:
        print("Too Low, Try Again")       
    elif n > x:
        print("Too High, Try Again")
    n =  print(input(str("Input Number 'n': ")))

and if you want to stop the loop... Use break

if my_condition:
    break

will stop your loop. It also works with for loops.

But asking for a new value of n will result, when x ==n, to end your while statement.

You can exit a loop early using break. I am not sure what you mean by "the next condition", but after a normal "break" excution will just start immediately after the loop. Python also has a nice construct where you can put an "else" clause after the loop which run only if the Loop exits normally.
