how to tell an infinite loop to end once one number repeats twice in a row (in python 3.4)

Question

The title says it all. I have an infinite loop of randomly generated numbers from one to six that I need to end when 6 occurs twice in a row.

Answer 1

The following is a working example. With comments in the code so you can better understand each step.

# import required to use randint
import random

# holds the last number to be randomly generated
previous_number = None
while True: # infinite loop
    # generates a random number between 1 and 6
    num = random.randint(1, 6)
    # check if the last number was 6 and current number is 6
    if previous_number == 6 and num == 6:
        # if the above is true then break out the loop
        break
    # store the latest number and start the loop again
    previous_number = num
