may I ask what’s wrong with my code as the variable is not working like it’s supposed to in the while loop. It’s supposed to go like player 1, 2 and 3 but it keep on repeating as player 1 instead. How can I fix it?

>Solution :
It states "player 1" continuously because it uses n to figure that out, and n never changes in your loop.
If you want to cycle through the players, you’ll need to modify n with something like (at the end of the loop, but within it):
n = (n + 1) % 4 # gives 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, ...
For example, you can see how this works in the following transcript:
>>> n = 0
>>> for _ in range(10):
... print(n+1)
... n = (n + 1) % 4
...
