🧪 Fix & Find Questions

Fix the loop that should exit when the user enters 'quit'.

while True:
    user_input = input("Enter something (or 'quit' to exit): ")
    if user_input = 'quit':
        break

Hint: 💡 Check the comparison operator in the if statement.

🔍 View Issue & Fixed Solution

Issue: Using assignment operator (=) instead of equality operator (==).

while True:
    user_input = input("Enter something (or 'quit' to exit): ")
    if user_input == 'quit':
        break

Fix the logic error in this loop that skips elements.
```
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
for i in range(len(numbers)):
    if i % 2 == 0:
        continue
    print(numbers[i])
```
Hint: 💡 The code is printing elements at odd indices, not even ones.
🔍 View Issue & Fixed Solution

Issue: Condition is reversed - prints odd-indexed elements when it should print even-indexed.

✅ Fixed Solution
```
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
for i in range(len(numbers)):
    if i % 2 != 0:
        continue
    print(numbers[i])
```
