python raw_input not prompting for user input in a while loop
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm using the Python 2.7.15 version to write a while loop which will keep adding queries against till the number of queries match the counter. The issue that I am running into is that the QUERY variable is not prompting me for any input. Any help is appreciated. The code is below:
QUERIES =
NUMBER_OF_QUERIES = int(input('Number of queries being used: '))
COUNTER = 0
while NUMBER_OF_QUERIES < COUNTER:
QUERY = raw_input('Input required query:')
QUERIES.append(QUERY)
COUNTER = COUNTER + 1
python python-2.7 while-loop counter

while NUMBER_OF_QUERIES < COUNTER:
COUNTER is zero, so unless the user entered a negative number, this expression is false, so the input never happens.
Perhaps you meant to write > COUNTER instead?

I think an easier way would bewhile COUNTER < NUMBER_OF_QUERIES. Mentally at least.
