You want to repeatedly prompt a user for input until they type 'exit'. Which loop type is most appropriate and why?

hard📝 Application Q8 of 15

Python - While Loop

AA <code>for</code> loop, because it runs a fixed number of times

BA <code>while</code> loop, because the number of inputs is unknown beforehand

CA <code>do-while</code> loop, because Python supports it natively

DNo loop is needed, just one input prompt

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the problem
The user input count is unknown and depends on user typing 'exit'.
Step 2: Choose loop type
A while loop runs while a condition is true, ideal for unknown iterations.
Step 3: Evaluate other options
for loops require known iteration counts; Python lacks native do-while.
Final Answer:
A while loop, because the number of inputs is unknown beforehand -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use while loops for unknown iteration counts [OK]

Quick Trick: While loops handle unknown iteration counts well [OK]
