I am a beginner in learning Python and I am currently reading "Learning Python the Hard Way." In one of its exercises, there's a code that says:
def bear_room():
print "There is a bear here."
print "The bear has a bunch of honey."
print "The fat bear is in front of another door."
print "How are you going to move the bear?"
bear_moved = False
while True:
next = raw_input("> ")
if next == "take honey":
dead("The bear looks at you then slaps your face off.")
elif next == "taunt bear" and not bear_moved:
print "The bear has moved from the door. You can go through it now."
bear_moved = True
elif next == "taunt bear" and bear_moved:
dead("The bear gets pissed off and chews your leg off.")
elif next == "open door" and bear_moved:
gold_room()
else:
print "I got no idea what that means."
I am confused as to what's the use of the while True condition in this code. What is being tested as True? I do understand if it's something like: while x < 9 [do something]. But here, while True means what?
