using loops in python for a dice simulator

[Zahra_1]

how to create a loop that will make sure that my dice can be rolled as many times as required?
here's my code as a start off.

import random
dice=random.randrange(1,5)
dice2=random.randrange(1,7)
dice3=random.randrange(1,13)

sim=input (“Which sided dice would you like to roll? You can choose a 4-sided dice, a 6-sided dice or a 12-sided dice.”)
if output=4
then print (“The 4-sided dice has rolled to”,dice)
elif output=6
then print (“The 6-sided dice has rolled to”,dice2)
elif output=12
then print (“The 12-sided dice has rolled to”,dice3)
else input (“Please input a number 4, 6 or 12”)

there are errors within my coding, but i am more concerned about creating the loop, thanks (:
please don't be harsh, im new to python

Use the python tutorial for correct syntax.

You can apply an endless while loop (with an exit condition) like this ...

import random

# optional, make string input work with Python2 or Python3
try: input = raw_input
except: pass

info = '''
Which sided dice would you like to roll? You can choose a
4-sided dice, a 6-sided dice or a 12-sided dice.
(Type 0 to exit the loop)
'''
print(info)

while True:
    dice = random.randrange(1,5)
    dice2 = random.randrange(1,7)
    dice3 = random.randrange(1,13)
    sides = int(input("Input number 4, 6 or 12 > "))
    if sides == 0:
        break  # exit the endless while loop
    elif sides == 4 :
        print("The 4-sided dice has rolled to", dice)
    elif sides == 6 :
        print("The 6-sided dice has rolled to", dice2)
    elif sides == 12:
        print("The 12-sided dice has rolled to", dice3)
    else:
        print("Please input a number 4, 6 or 12")

Study the example code closely so you learn.

thank you, but raw_input doesn't work for me... is there something else i can use?

The way it is coded it should work with Python2 or Python3.
