    flag = input("to break loop enter '0': ")

Output:

Python exit while loop with user input

Another example

Add the movie entered to a list. Continue asking for a movie until the user enters ‘0’. After all, movies have been input, output the list of movies one movie per line.

Use the break keyword to interrupt either a while or a for-loop.

def addMovie():
    movies = []
    while True:
        movie = input("Enter the name of a movie: ")
        if movie == "0":
            break
        else:
            movies.append(movie)

    print("That's your list")
    print(movies)


addMovie()

Output:

Enter the name of a movie: AAA
Enter the name of a movie: BBB
Enter the name of a movie: 0
That’s your list
[‘AAA’, ‘BBB’]
