help - except?

Question

hi

this is my code:

def x(n):
result = 1
while n > 0:
result = result * n
n -= 1
return result

while True:
print('input a positive number ')
i=input()
if i=="exit":
print('quitter!')
break
# elif try:
# int(i)
# except ValueError
# print('number! not word!')
elif int(i) >= 0:
n=int(i)
print(n, ' factorial is ', x(n))
break
else:
print('must be positive')

please look at commented part
i dont know how to complete it correctly
i want to print "number! not word!" if input is not "exit" nor integer type

im looking for solution
or maybe i should use sth different than "except"
im sure there are other ways to do it

def x(n):
result = 1
while n > 0:
result = result * n
n -= 1
return result

while True:
print('input a positive number ')
i=input()
if i=="exit":
print('quitter!')
break
try:
n = int(i)
except ValueError:
print('number! not word!')
continue
if n >= 0:
print(n, ' factorial is ', x(n))
break
else:
print('must be positive')
