title: How to do a while loop when using a greater than or less than
body: <p>I don't understand why my while loop is continuous, how do I make it stop? </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to create a while loop based on the greater than and less than figures and it has worked but my output is continuous and will not stop.</p>
  
  <pre><code>lineno=int(input("how many lines do you want of RLA code?"))
  
  target= 3
  
  while lineno &gt;= target:
      print("Proceed")
  
  while lineno&lt; target: 
      print ("try again")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want the output to keep asking until they get a user input of equal to or bigger than 3, and when they get a number bigger than 3 or equal to 3, I want them to proceed to ask them a different question using user input rather than continuously print "proceed" or "true".</p>
