Without seeing your code I have no idea what you did wrong.
When you first started on Python, how did you do this project so there's no
loop at the end?

I did not in fact do any courses, I just read the official documents and made
up my own projects. So I can't tell you how I did it. I can only comment on how
I might
do it now.
