While working on a Python Project, I was tasked to complete a While Loop, I completed the Loop, and I wanted the program to check data to see if I enter a positive integer. Then loop if i put in a negative or letter character to ask the user to put in a positive integer until the user does so. The file needs to write to a file at the end with the results. I ran the program and no matter what number I put in, it still displays that I have put in a negative number and stay on loop. I need help.
