What's wrong with while loop?

Question

def clock():
    import time
    m = 0
    s = 0
    while(True):
        if((m<60) and (s<60)): print(m,":",s)
        elif(s==60):
            s == -1
            m += 1
        elif(m==60):
            print("It's been 1 hour m8")
            break
        s += 1
        time.sleep(1)

Result is, it counts until 0:59 then stops. It suppose to go until 59.59. I want to understand the fundemantal looping mistake which i did in here, thanks.

s == -1 just compares s to -1, then ignored the result. Presumably you meant s = -1, and we can just close this as a typo? — abarnert

You don’t have to delete it; people who stop by should see that it was just a typo and take care of closing it. (I think new users who delete too many questions get throttled in asking new questions, so it’s better to let it get closed—but I’m not actually sure about that; check the help center if you’re worried.) — abarnert

s == -1

Does nothing here. Change it to

s = -1
