Basic Python Loops

import time

age = input("How old? ")
guess = 0
count = 0

while guess != age:
        guess = input("What's your guess? ")
        if guess == age:
                print("Correct!")
        else:
                print("Wrong!")
        count = count + 1
        print("You guessed wrong this many times:{1} ".format(count))

while count <= 0:
        print("You messed up this many times: {0} ".format(count))
        count = count - 1
        time.sleep(5)

I'm new to python/coding, so forgive any mistakes or misunderstanding. I need to get rid of the line that says "you guessed wrong this many times:[4]" after I correctly guess the number, as shown here:

Current behavior

Instead, I need it to roll out the information like this:

Desired Behavior

You should place it on right place, in else block

while guess != age:
    guess = input("What's your guess? ")
    if guess == age:
            print("Correct!")
            break
    else:
            print("Wrong!")
            print("You guessed wrong this many times:{1} ".format(count+1))
    count = count + 1

Use break to exit the loop upon success

count = 1
while guess != age:
    guess = input("What's your guess? ")
    if guess == age:
        print("Correct!")
        break
    print("Wrong!")
    print(f"You guessed wrong this many times: {count}")
    count += 1

A break statement would end the loop as soon as the user guesses correctly:

while guess != age:
        guess = input("What's your guess? ")
        if guess == age:
                print("Correct!")
                break #Ends 'nearest' loop
        else:
                print("Wrong!")
        count = count + 1
        print("You guessed wrong this many times:{1} ".format(count)) #Never gets here if correct

Read about break https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_break_statement.htm

Also, I'm assuming you want while count >= 0: as while count <= 0: will never run.
