on writing a while loop for rolling two dice

[Avi Gross]

I hate to quibble but as almost anything in Python can evaluate to being
truthy, a command like

while "never"

evaluates to true as the string is not empty.

I meant a generator like

>>> def boring():
	while True: yield()

	
>>> for _ in boring():
	print("repeating ...")

The above gives me a nice infinite loop, with the second one looking like a
normal loop but actually doing nothing much.
