# Try a Validation Loop Run this starter code. Pretty simple. ```python def main(): while True: try: age = int(input("Please enter your age: ")) break except _____Error: print("Need to input an integer!\n") print(f"Wow, you are {age} years old.") if __name__ == "__main__": main() ``` ## What you should do 1. What is the error that happens when you try to convert a string that cannot be converted to an integer? 2. Use that error in the `except` section. 3. Purposefully enter invalid input to see how the program handles the error. 4. Why doesn't the loop `break` right after taking the input? ## What it should look like ``` Please enter your age: hello there sonny! Need to input an integer! Please enter your age: hmm? could you speak in my good ear? Need to input an integer! Please enter your age: oh, sorry.. Need to input an integer! Please enter your age: 105 Wow, you are 105 years old. ``` --- ©2021 Daniel Gallo
