Python checking numbers in a given name

If this is not your intention, you may need to adjust your loop or use a different method for printing the name once.In summary, the conversation discusses the task of writing a Python program that asks for a name and continues to ask if the name is not entered correctly (with a digit in it). If the name is entered correctly, the program will print the name. The individual is seeking help on how to prevent the program from repeating the name multiple times when entered correctly.

Homework Statement


I need to write a Python program, which would:

1) Ask for a name (input function)
2) Keep asking for the name if it is not entered correctly(if it has a digit in it)
3) If the name is entered correctly it will print the name

Homework Equations


How should I continue the program? I tried another way, when I enter for example "J4ck" it asks to enter the name again but when I enter "Jack" for the program to print it, it repeats the name "Jack" 4 times in a row. Any suggestions?

The Attempt at a Solution


Code:
while True:
    name = input("Enter a name: ")
    for x in name:
        if x.isdigit():
            break

Is your instruction to print the name contained within the 'for x in name' loop? If so, the interpreter will print the name as many times as there are letters in the name.
