How can I count the outputs of a while loop in python?

Question

I would like to be able to insert a line of code that counts the number of times the output is "watch".

Please post code as text. It makes it easier for people to help you by being able to copy-paste it. Also it seems you are aware of variables. Did you know you can do something like `x = x + 1`? If you start with `x = 0` you can count stuff — Tomerikoo, Apr 05 '20 at 21:29
add a count variable and increment whenever the condition is watch and finally print it — coldy, Apr 05 '20 at 21:31
You can calculate it arithmetically, there's no need to count. — Barmar, Apr 05 '20 at 21:32

Try this one:

counter = 0
while Amzn > 1000:
    counter+=1
    print("Watch")
    Amzn = Amzn - (Amzn*.0103)
else:
    print("buy")
print(counter)

i = 0

[...stuff...]

i += 1
print(f"Watch {i}")

It would be clearer for the OP (who seems to be a beginner) to show the actual `while` loop than `...stuff...`. – Gino Mempin Apr 05 '20 at 23:59
