Exercise 5: Find the Exit

You're exploring a dungeon with a series of rooms. Loop through the rooms and print what you find in each one. When you reach the room called "exit", print a victory message and stop exploring using break.

Use this list of rooms:

rooms = ["empty", "goblin", "empty", "treasure", "exit", "dragon", "empty"]

Expected output:

Room 1: empty
Room 2: goblin
Room 3: empty
Room 4: treasure
Room 5: exit - You found the exit!
Explored 5 rooms.

Notice that "dragon" and the last "empty" are never printed — the loop stopped at "exit".

Requirements

Use a for loop to go through the rooms
Use break to stop when you find "exit"
Track how many rooms you explored
No starter code — write the whole solution yourself!

Hints

Hint 1 — How to number the rooms

You can use enumerate() to get both the index and the room name:

for i, room in enumerate(rooms):

The room number for display is i + 1 since enumerate starts at 0.

Hint 2 — When to break

Check if the current room is "exit" using an if statement. If it is, print the special message and break.

Hint 3 — Tracking rooms explored

You can use a counter variable that increments each loop, or you can use i + 1 from enumerate after the loop ends (since i keeps its last value after a for loop).
