I am trying to loop a simple exception. I tried to put a while loop, but

Please help us to help you. What did your while loop look like and what
were the syntax issues? Tell us precisely what your alternative was and
what went wrong, syntax error, value error, power cut, atom bomb dropped?
def main():
print("\t\tWelcome to Blackjack!\n")
names = []
try:
number = games.ask_number("How many players? (1 - 7): ", low =
1, high = 8)
except (ValueError, TypeError):
print("That is not a number!")
number = games.ask_number("How many players? (1 - 7): ", low =
1, high = 8)
continue
This must be a syntax error as continue is only valid in a loop of some
kind. Try (awful I know) something like
number = 0
while not number:
try:
number = games.ask_number("How many players? (1 - 7): ", low =
1, high = 8)
except (ValueError, TypeError):
print("That is not a number!")
for i in range(number):
name = input("Enter player name: ")
names.append(name)
print()
Assuming that you get your while loop to work correctly, how many times
will the for loop above run if you enter 1?
