Issue while running infinite Loop

Question

var = 1
while var == 1:
    num = input("Enter a number :")
    print ("You entered: ",num)
    var = num
print("Good bye!")

Loop should continue after entering 1 but it's getting terminated after that.

Please someone suggest for this.

Did you try to cast it to integer? Like so:

num = int(input("Enter a number :"))

If this doesn't work you may try with booleans instead.

  while True: 
     num=raw_input("enter number") 
     print float(num)
