Exercise 2: XP Grinder

Your game character earns XP for each monster defeated. Use a while loop to keep grinding until you reach a target XP level.

Each monster gives you 15 XP. Keep fighting until your total XP reaches 100 or more.

Expected output:

Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 15)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 30)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 45)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 60)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 75)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 90)
Monster defeated! +15 XP (Total: 105)
Level up! You reached 105 XP in 7 fights!

Starter Code

xp = 0
fights = 0
xp_per_fight = 15
target = 100

while ___:
    xp += xp_per_fight
    fights += ___
    print(f"Monster defeated! +{xp_per_fight} XP (Total: {xp})")

print(f"Level up! You reached {xp} XP in {fights} fights!")

Hints

Hint 1 — What's the while condition?

The loop should keep running while XP is less than the target: while xp < target:

Hint 2 — Counting fights

Each time through the loop is one fight. Increment fights by 1 each time: fights += 1

Hint 3 — Why while and not for?

We don't know ahead of time how many fights it'll take — we just keep going until we hit the target. That's exactly when you use a while loop!
