Is there a way for me to add an exception to my code? (CLOSED)

So i have this code:

x=1
while x <= 2:
    text=input("> ")
    print(f"running {text}....")
    x=x+0
    if text=="quit":
        quit()
    if text=="clear":
        import os
        os.system("clear")

So i wanted to know if there was a way for me to tell python "hey could you please not print "running…" on these two words, clear and quit?" And well i tried all i could think of, and it either: ignored it, or it threw up an error telling me to screw off, could you guys maybe help me?

>Solution :

It’s pretty similar to fizzbuzz. That’s probably why it seems hard to come up with a "nice" solution.

text=input("> ")
if text != "quit" && text != "clear":
    print(f"running {text}....")

I was just about to add an alternative and better approach with elif and else, but @milanbalazs was faster. 🙂

When you expand the application, this approach might be a good option:

nonprintables = ["quit", "clear"]
while x <= 2:
    text=input("> ")
    if not text in printables:
        print(f"running {text}....")
