My input commands are not activating inside of if elif and else statements

Python Help

while we’re at it, let’s use proper style. These are not functions, they are statements. They should have whitespace and shouldn’t have parentheses:

while pw == 1:
    ...

if a == "y" or pw < 2:
    ...
elif a == "n":
    ...

Here is alternate:

def main():

     response = input('\nHello brave adventurer! \nAre you ready to start your quest? (y/n) ')
                      
     while response not in ('y', 'n'):
          response = input("\nThat was an invalid input.  \nEnter 'y' for yes, or 'n' for no: ")

     if response == 'y':
          print("\nGreat!  Glad that you've decided to begin your adventure with us. \nBuckle up!")
          
     else:
          print("\nWell, that is unfortunate. Okay, bye!")

main()
