How to debug the loop in my Python hangman game

Question

I am trying to create a hangman game but there is a problem. Whenever I run my code the random.choice(words_to_guess) chooses a word and when I write the word it has chosen and it's the correct word, it does not stop. It keeps going in loops.

What can I do to make stop the loop?

import random

lives = 10

def welcome(): 
    name = input("enter your name: ")
    print("hello " + name)
    print( name + " you will have this many(10) ")

def computer_role():
    words_to_guess = ["salad", "mood"]
    random.choice(words_to_guess)
    return random.choice(words_to_guess)
computer = computer_role()
def game_correct():
    user = input("enter a letter: ")
    while  user in computer:
        print(user)
        game_correct()

def game_wrong():
    for  user in computer_role():
            cal = lives -1
            return cal
    print("wrong word" + user + "this is how many lives you have left" + str(lives))


welcome()
computer_role()
game_correct()
game_wrong()

I have tried to use break under where game_correct() is but there seems that dose not wan work as well. also I have tried exit() but that does not also work.

Answer 1

If you guess a correct letter the while loop will run forever as it never changes the variable called user. Instead of using a while loop, you should be using an if.

def game_correct():
    user = input("enter a letter: ")
    if user in computer:
        print("Correct guess")

Should point you in the right direction.
