Looping after an else statement

Question

I am trying to figure out how to repeat my question after my ending else statement.

My code looks like this at the moment

card = input("What card do you want to delete? ").strip().lower()
if card in monster_card:
    del monster_card[card]
    monster_card.pop(card)
    monster_card.update(card)
elif delete == 'no':
  print("Ok!")

else: 
  print("please enter 'yes' or 'no'")

If I type something other than 'yes' it prints off what it's meant to but then goes to the next question anyways, what I would like to happen is it prints what it's meant to then asks the question again and only continues with 'yes' or 'no'. Has anyone got any suggestions?

You could achieve this with a loop structure, such as a while loop. Here's an updated version of your code:

monster_card = {}  # You should define 'monster_card' before using it.

while True:
    card = input("What card do you want to delete? ").strip().lower()
    
    if card in monster_card:
        del monster_card[card]
        monster_card.pop(card)
        monster_card.update(card)
        
    elif card == 'no':
        print("Ok!")
        break  # Exit the loop if 'no' is entered.
    
    else:
        print("please enter 'yes' or 'no'")
