Hi all! I want to make the program I am working on restart if the user does not enter a correct value.
Here is my code
CODE
raw_input ("Press Enter to begin entering your answer")

question_one=raw_input("This is a question:")
question_one=question_one.upper()
while True:
    if question_one=="A":
        print "Correct!"
        break
    elif question_one=="B":
        print "This is also correct"
        break
    else:
        print "Error:", question_one, \
              "is an inproper answer."
        print "Please restart the program."


I want to make the program restart and start over from the top line if the else statement is reached so that the user can attempt to enter in one of the correct answers again. I do not want for the program to close, just restart. Thank you for your help.

You can try this-
CODE

raw_input ("Press Enter to begin entering your answer")

while True:
    question_one=raw_input("This is a question:")
    question_one=question_one.upper()

    if question_one=="A":
        print "Correct!"
        break
    elif question_one=="B":
        print "This is also correct"
        break
    else:
        print "Error:", question_one, \
              "is an inproper answer."
        print "Please restart the program."
