Python while loop keeps repeating itself

Simple question but it is driving me nuts. why when I run this code does it just keep repeating itself? And my indentations are correct just had to space 4 times to post this for whatever reason.

High Scores

0 - Exit 1 - Show Scores

Source code:

scores = []

choice = None
while choice != "0":

print(
"""
High Scores

0 - Exit
1 - Show Scores
"""
)

choice = input("choice: ")
print()

if choice == "0":
print ("exiting")

elif choice == "1":
score = int(input("what score did you get?: "))
scores.append(score)

else:
print ("no")

input ("\n\nPress enter to exit")

This is because you are not using proper indentation. Please indent the code under the while loop that you want to execute while choice != 0

Further there is no mistake with comparison as @wookie919 wrongly indicated because you're taking a String as input and not an Int. You can however typecast your input as a string by wrapping it around an int() like int(input("Choice .. "))

Hope it helped.

It's because you are comparing an Integer to a String. Try entering "0" instead of just 0. Or modify your program to compare with 0 instead of "0".
