Challenge

Easy

The last step tidies up the loop and handles wrong choices. Keep everything you wrote in the previous steps.

  1. Replace the if / elif chain in the loop with a match choice: statement, with one pattern per choice from "1" to "6". break inside a pattern still leaves the while loop.
  2. Add the wildcard pattern _: for every other choice. It prints:
Invalid choice. Please try again.

After the message the loop shows the menu and reads the next choice, as before.

Try it yourself
