Python: continue loop from one point

Question

I've just started a Python programming course and trying to go step by step.. I just created a little spanish - english reminder for myself and I am facing one diufficulty now. I am asking a question in english and need to translate it in spanish.. if the answer is correct I can go on however if the answer is false I would like to ask the qeustion again.. Here is my code so far, my problem is if I give a wrong answer the loop goes back to the first question.. Can you help me what shall I add just to repeat the question I failed to answer properly?

thank you,

while True:
    ask = raw_input('How are you? ')
    answer = str(ask)
    if answer == 'Que tal?':
        ask = raw_input(' Sorry, I have other programs ')
        answer = str(ask)
    if answer == 'Lo siento, pero ya tengo otros planes':
        ask = raw_input(' I am reading a book ')
        answer = str(ask)
    else:
        continue

It looks like you need to use multiple loops. I would use one loop for each questions, and `break` when you want to move on to the next one. — Sam, Mar 02 '15 at 08:13

Create list of questions and its answers. Save this details in any variable e.g. list.
Use for loop to iterate list items of question and use raw_input() to ask questions.
Check User Answer with correct or not by if condition.
If User Answer is wrong, then ask same question to User again.
If User Answer is correct, then ask next question.
Use break statement to come out from the while loop.

Limitation: If User not give correct answer to any question then programme will ask same question again and again until User give correct answer.

Demo:

#- Create List of tuples which contains question and respective answer.    
questions = [("Question number one?", "one"), ("Question number two?", "two"),\
             ("Question number three?", "three")]

for i in questions:
    while 1:
        ans = raw_input(i[0])
        if ans==i[1]:
            print "Correct."
            break
        else:
            print "Wrong answer"

output:

infogrid@infogrid-vivek:~/workspace/vtestproject$ 
infogrid@infogrid-vivek:~/workspace/vtestproject$ python task4.py 
Question number one?test1
Wrong answer
Question number one?test1
Wrong answer
Question number one?one
Correct.
Question number two?two
Correct.
Question number three?test3
Wrong answer
Question number three?three
Correct.

Multiple choice equations and answers.

Demo:

#- Create List of tuples which contains question. optinons and  respective answer.
questions = [("Question number one?", ["a. one", "b. two", "c. three"], "a"),\
             ("Question number two?", ["a. one", "b. two", "c. three"], "b"),\
             ("Question number three?", ["a. one", "b. two", "c. three"], "c")
             ]

#- Set number of chances to solve each question.
chances = 3
#- Score. Plus one for each correct answer.
score = 0

for i in questions:
    print "-"*10
    for j in xrange(0, chances):
        print "Question:", i[0], "\n Options:", i[1]
        ans = raw_input("Enter option:")
        if ans==i[2]:
            print "Correct."
            score += 1
            break
        else:
            print "Wrong answer"


print "Your score: ", score

Output:

----------
Question: Question number one? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:b
Wrong answer
Question: Question number one? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:c
Wrong answer
Question: Question number one? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:b
Wrong answer
----------
Question: Question number two? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:b
Correct.
----------
Question: Question number three? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:s
Wrong answer
Question: Question number three? 
 Options: ['a. one', 'b. two', 'c. three']
Enter option:c
Correct.
Your score:  2
