Breaking for loop when two same inputs in a row, Python-CodePudding

I am making a code which calculates the average of credits the user inputs in Python. The loop should break, if the user inputs two zeros in a row and I have tried everything I can to make it so but I am having a hard time. Could someone help me? This is the code I have written so far. Sorry for bad English, I am a student from Finland :D

months = int(input("Enter the number of months: "))
list = []
loops = 1
for loops in range(1, months   1):
   print("Enter the number of credits in month", loops, end="")
   credits = int(input(": "))
   list.append(credits)

(now if credits are zeros two times a row)

        print("You did have too many study breaks!")
        break
   loops  = 1

average_credits = sum(list) / months
print("Your monthly credit point average is", average_credits, ".")

Before converting the input string to int, check it if it is two leading zeroes.

months = int(input("Enter the number of months: "))
list = []
loops = 1

for loops in range(1, months   1):
    print("Enter the number of credits in month", loops, end="")

    input_str = input(": ")

    if input_str == "00":
        print("You did have too many study breaks!")
        break
    credits = int(input_str)
    list.append(credits)
    loops  = 1

I hope this answers your question:

months = int(input("Enter the number of months: "))
count_zeros = 0
list = []
loops = 1
for loops in range(1, months   1):
    while count_zeros < 1:
        print("Enter the number of credits in month", loops, end="")
        if credits == 0:
            count_zeros  = 1
        credits = int(input(": "))
        list.append(credits)
        loops  = 1
    else:
        print("You did have too many study breaks!")
        break
average_credits = sum(list) / months
print("Your monthly credit point average is", average_credits, ".")

This is how I would solve the issue of two zeros in a row.

months = int(input("Enter the number of months: "))
list = []
loops = 1
for loops in range(1, months   1):
    print("Enter the number of credits in month", loops, end="")
    credits = int(input(": "))

    # if the length of the list is not 0 (the array is not empty)
    # get the last element in the list and check if it is 0
    # if it the previous credit was 0, break the loop
    if len(list) != 0 and list[-1] == 0:
        print("You did have too many study breaks!")
        break
    list.append(credits)
    # loops  = 1 - this line is not necessary, the loop will increment automatically in the range
    
average_credits = sum(list) / months
print("Your monthly credit point average is", average_credits, ".")
