Break

break is a special command to leave the loop at any moment. It can be used either inside general finite loops or infinite loops with constantly True conditions, like while True:.

123456789
a = 96 while True: if a < 101: a += 1 elif a > 101: a -= 1 else: print('a reached 101') break
copy

This loop could be infinite, but we're lucky to have the break after a becomes equal to 101. After that, loop is over and next lines of code are executing.

Task

Simulate the game. For the current number of user's points increment it by 5 if it is even number, or decrease by 3 if it is odd number. The game is over when value of points reaches 17. If it happened, print the message The game is over and leave the loop.
