I want the terminal to return to the loop until the answer is 'OK'

Tried adding return to make the statement return into the lopp until the answer is desired

while true:
   agreement = str(input("Answer only in Yes or No OK? \n write 'OK' if you agree \n"))
   if agreement == str("OK"):
      print("Thanks")
   else:
      print("You can't move ahead without writing 'OK'")
       return agreement

itworking = str(input("Are you living?\n"))

if itworking == str ("yes"):
   print("You are living dude!")
else:
   print("You are dead hehe")

`true` needs to be `True`. Python is case-sensitive. – Barmar Dec 14 '22 at 20:39

Why is your `return` part of the `else` condition? Why are you asking for `"OK"` and testing vs. `"yes"`? Maybe you need `break`. – tadman Dec 14 '22 at 20:39

you can only use `return` inside a function. – Barmar Dec 14 '22 at 20:39
@tadman It's not; it's not part of *anything*, as the indentation is wrong. – chepner Dec 14 '22 at 20:40
Perhaps you are confusing `return` (which is about returning a value from a function) with `break` which you can use to leave a loop? – Andrew Jaffe Dec 14 '22 at 20:40
@chepner I was going to gripe about the indentation, but figured someone else would point that out first. – tadman Dec 14 '22 at 20:40
What's the point of asking if the user agrees? – chepner Dec 14 '22 at 20:40

The prompt says to answer with `Yes` or `No`, but then it checks if they enter `OK`. That's confusing. – Barmar Dec 14 '22 at 20:41
Also, remove all `str`s - they are useless in this code fragment. – DYZ Dec 14 '22 at 20:42
