While loop difference in Moodle

Question

Questions in routine practice 12 or program practice 3 that include while loops and multiple functions: I have the output right in Thonny but when I put it in Moodle, it restarts the loop over even though it returns what is needed already and so it marks it wrong.

Answer 1

When a problem asks you to write a function, then just include the definition of that function in the Moodle answer box, not the code the you used to test the function.

If you have included code, perhaps in a main function, that calls the function to test it, then my test code calls your function and your code calls the function a second time making the while loop in the function execute again since the function has been called twice.
