Python: very basic help on a while loop

I've searched everywhere for an answer to my question, and I still can't figure it out! The answer is probably sooooo simple but I just can't get it, maybe because I'm just getting back into Python...

Anyway, I want to create a while-loop so that until the user enters 'y' or 'n' the question will keep being asked. This is what I have:

while True:   # to loop the question
    answer = input("Do you like burgers? ").lower()
    if answer == "y" or "n":
        break

I'm honestly so baffed, so I beg for someone's help :)

Your condition is wrong. Also if you are using Python 2.x you should use raw_input (otherwise you would need to type "y" instead of y, for example):

while True:   # to loop the question
    answer = raw_input("Do you like burgers? ").lower()
    if answer == "y" or answer == "n":
        break
