how to exit a python script in an if statement

All answers to this question.

Rather than utilizing the standard UTF-8 encoding, which is widely accepted in the industry, I converted the code I retrieved from a webpage into this alternative encoding.

As a newcomer to Linux, I understand the chmod binary format, but I am uncertain about the permissions assigned by the value 755. Could you please provide further clarification?

In Python, the break statement allows you to terminate a loop when a specific external condition occurs. Typically, you will place the break statement within the code block of your loop, often following a conditional if statement.

Hi everyone,

I would like to present my solution to the aforementioned queries:

To halt code execution in Python, you must first import the sys module. Following this, you can invoke the exit() method to terminate the program's operation. This approach is the most dependable and universally applicable method for stopping code execution. Below is a straightforward example.

import sys
sys.exit()

This works fine for me:

while True:
answer = input('Do you want to continue?:')
if answer.lower().startswith("y"):
print("ok, carry on then")
elif answer.lower().startswith("n"):
print("ok, sayonnara")
exit()

edit: use input in python 3.2 instead of raw_input

Hope it helps!!

• Greetings, @MDG, Merely importing sys will not suffice to make the exit function accessible in the global scope. You will need to implement the following:
