#44526 — repeat program

How do I make the following program repeat twice instead of asking whether the player wants to play again?


import random
import time

def intro():
    print('You spot 2 caves in the distance.')
    print ('You near 2 cave entrances..')
    time.sleep(1)
    print('You proceed even nearer...')
    time.sleep(1)

def choosecave():
    cave=''
    while cave!='1' and cave !='2':
        print('which cave?(1 or 2)')
        cave=input()
        return cave
        
def checkcave(chosencave):
    friendlycave=random.randint(1,2)
    if chosencave==str(friendlycave):
        print ('you win')
    else:
        print('you lose')

playagain='yes'
while playagain=='yes':
    intro()
    cavenumber=choosecave()
    checkcave(cavenumber)
    print('wanna play again?(yes no)')
    playagain=input()
    
Thanks in advance.

You change something in the folowing two lines:

playagain='yes'
while playagain=='yes':

What you change and how you change it is probably your homework task, so 
I really shouldn't tell you any more than that.

Also, I might not be right about where you need to make the change, but 
hey, this is the internet, it must be right, yeah?

Turn it into a function call, and call that function twice from 
top-level.  Or, more generally,



for i in range(2):
     doit()

Replace the 'while' loop with a 'for' loop that loops twice.

By the way, there's a bug in 'choosecave': what happens if the user
enters, say, '3'?
