while MenuChoice != '1' or '2' or '3':
    MenuChoice = input('What would you like to do? (Type a number):')

This is the code I have at the moment, however, when the code is executed, the MenuChoice user input is repeated no matter what character is entered (this includes 1, 2, and 3)

How can I make it so that the program checks if the user's input for MenuChoice (prior to this section to code) was '1', '2', or '3' and if not, repeat the MenuChoice input?

Thank you in advanced.

Your logic is wrong. Use `while MenuChoice != '1' or MenuChoice != '1'..` – Unni Oct 13 '17 at 05:40

try `while !(MenuChoice in ['1','2','3']):` – kaza Oct 13 '17 at 05:41

or `while MenuChoice not in ['1','2','3']:` – PRMoureu Oct 13 '17 at 05:41

set is a good choice for membership test: `MenuChoice not in {'1','2','3'}` – VPfB Oct 13 '17 at 05:45
Thanks for the answers, PRMoureu, your one seems to work. – Fareh Donalstein Oct 13 '17 at 05:50
