Stuck on a loop - please help

Hi, I'm stuck on an assignment. I'm new to C and finding it quite intimidating and really stuck at present. I need the programme to continue running until a positive integer between 0 and including 8 has been input by the user, if another integer is entered ie -2 or 9 for example then the programme needs to prompt the user to enter Height again. Currently what the programme does when -2 is entered is return Height which is correct, but when 9 is entered, the programme ends, which is not what I want to happen.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Current code is:

Code:

---

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>


int get_positive_int(string prompt);


int main(void)
{
    int Height = get_positive_int("Height: ");
   
    for (int i = 0; i < Height && Height < 9; i++)
    {
        for (int j = Height - i - 1; j > 0; j--)
        {
            printf(" ");
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < i + 1; j++)
        {
            printf("#");
        }
        {
            printf("\n");
        }
    }
}

//prompt user to input positive integer
int get_positive_int(string prompt)
{
    int n;
    do
    {
        n = get_int("%s", prompt);
    }
    while (n < 1);
    return n;
}
// if less than 1  or greater than 8 then repeat previous step

You need to adjust the condition of the do while loop.

Thank you, you're amazing. I've done the below and it now works. I've been staring at this forever and tried so many different things with the condition and it hadn't worked before, but never thought of doing this until your message.

Code:

---

int Height;
    do
    {
        Height = get_int("%s", prompt);
    }
    while (Height <= 0 || Height > 8);
    return Height;
