Function not looping in python

Question

Would someone be able to tell me why my function (delete_loop) only runs once before exiting? I want it to run 200 times in a row before continuing the code again.   

Thanks

def delete_loop(count):
    if count == 0:
        return
    # Click the dropdown

    # Call the function again with decremented count
    delete_loop(count - 1)

# Continuous loop

Answer 1

You can start your function like this:

def delete_loop(count):
    for i in range(count):
        # Click the dropdown
        dropdown_button = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.dropdown > .btn')

Then you need to indent the following codes once to the right. Also, remove this call: delete_loop(count - 1)

Answer 2

shouldn't it be like this:

 delete_loop(count -= 1)

and instead of checking if, I would do a while loop
