[Python] Python: Using while loop and user input to run a program until prompted to terminate

I am having trouble with an early coding assignment. Nothing relating to this purpose except for the very basics of what a while loop is has been taught.

def branching_looping():
while True:
x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
for i in x:
print(i)

y=1
for y in range(10):
print(f"{y+1}")
#Array can be automatically generated by giving its length. To avoid an output of 0, add one to starting value.

n = int(input("Please define n:"))
count = n
total = 0

while count:
total += count
count -= 1

print(f"The sum of the range of {n} is {total}")

#Repeatedly adds the current value, subtracts one from the current value, then adds the resulting value again.

z=int(input("Please input number:"))
if z //2 is int:
z=False
else:
z=True
print("This is an odd number!")

terminate=input("Would you like to exit the program? y/n:")
if terminate=="y":
print("Goodbye!")
break
else:
print("From the top, then!")


When the last input prompt and related if-else statement is added, everything breaks. The terminal does not give me any of the input prompts and simply displays whatever is entered.

I have tried defining and calling functions before and inside of the loop, to no avail.

I am aware that there are other problems with what I have here. I'm specifically looking for answers about how to terminate the loop with user input.
