How would I repeat the question if the user does not enter 'a', 'b' or 'c'?

Question

import sys

class Question:
    def __init__(self, prompt, answer):
        self.prompt = prompt
        self.answer = answer

question_prompts = [
    'What color are apples?\n(a) Red/Green\n(b) Purple\n(c) Orange\n\n',
    'What color are bananas?\n(a) Teal\n(b) Magneta\n(c) Yellow\n\n',
    'What color are strawberries?\n(a) Yellow\n(b) Red\n(c) Blue\n\n',
]

questions = [
    Question(question_prompts[0], 'a'),
    Question(question_prompts[1], 'c'),
    Question(question_prompts[2], 'b'),
]

def run_test(questions):

    score = 0

    while True:

        for question in questions:
            answer = input(question.prompt)

        if answer == question.answer:
                score += 1
        else:
            print('You did not enter a,b or c. Please try again') 

    print('You got' + str(score) + '/' + str(len(questions)) + 'Correct')

def replay():

    choice = input("Play again? Enter Yes or No")

    if choice == 'Yes':
        run_test(questions)
    else:
        sys.exit(0)
    
run_test(questions)
replay()

Im trying to repeat the question_prompt if the user does not type 'a', 'b' or 'c' however im struggling to get it to work.

I know I need to use a while loop but not sure where to use it. I know where its currently being used is wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

How would I also keep on asking the user to play again as at the moment it only works once?

you should put your while loop inside the for loop. Don't you wanna stop when all questions have been answered? — Tranbi, Oct 04 '21 at 20:32
``` def run_test(questions): score = 0 for question in questions: answer = input(question.prompt) while answer != 'a' or 'b' or 'c': response = input('You did not enter a,b or c. Please try again') if answer == question.answer: score += 1 print('You got' + str(score) + '/' + str(len(questions)) + 'Correct') ``` — abcdefg, Oct 04 '21 at 20:39
I have done this but it still does not work. I have adjusted it too be inside the for loop but it still does not work as its meant too. — abcdefg, Oct 04 '21 at 20:42
Even if i type 'a' 'b' or 'c' it now comes up saying that i did not type it in which is slightly confusing. — abcdefg, Oct 04 '21 at 20:45
Your current logic tells the user you didn't type a valid answer even when it's just the wrong answer. You need an answer loop with something like `while not answer in ["a","b","c"]:` with the question inside the loop. — RufusVS, Oct 04 '21 at 20:58
`answer != 'a' or 'b' or 'c'` does not do what you think it does, that is equivalent to `(answer != 'a') or bool('b') or bool('c')` and your typical object is always bool(x)==true unless len(x)==0 or x==None or x defined a `__bool__` special method... what you want here is `answer not in ['a', 'b', 'c']` — Copperfield, Oct 04 '21 at 20:58
Ok that makes alot more sense. However once im then asked to type in either 'a', 'b' or 'c' again after typing in the wrong letter it says that I have not typed in 'a', 'b' or 'c' even though I have. — abcdefg, Oct 04 '21 at 21:02
