控制结构 python 中的 While 循环使用计数器从用户那里获取输入

Question

I need help with a while loop. I cannot seem to format the code correctly in this block, so i'm writing below.

A user needs to enter a name with only a certain name triggering the loop. Need to print out number of tries it took user before inputting correct name.

I created a user "Joe". If user is Joe the code will run:

counter = 0
user = "Joe"
while name != user: 
     counter += 1
While name == user
continue

The program must count how many times it took before the name Joe is inputted.

Answer 1

counter = 0
user = "Joe"
name = raw_input("Enter name: ")
while name != user:
    name = raw_input("Enter name: ")
    counter += 1
print(counter)

Answer 2

It should be stop condition

if name == user:
   print(counter) 
   //Do something here
   break

inside while loop for better flow control.
