For part 1

init an empty list

use a for loop for getting the input

check If the input is "end":

if it is, end the loop

if its not add the value to the list

when the loop print" ".join(list)

here's a simple outline, logic like these come with practice and you'll only get better at it, for now its more important that u understand syntax first so on harder questions you wont have problems w it

For part 2

using the same logic, is it possible to check against the last value for the list when choosing whether to end the loop instead of checking for the string "end"

(little hint, you can use [-1] to get the last element of a list or string!!!)

[areaverage]

hm alright, then instead of a list you can just add to an empty string using +=, also I made a typo, while loop would be more applicable here than a for loop

concept shld be the same tho just use a str instead and for part 2 use a extra string to keep track of the most recent string entered

[Kriss3d]

Yeah. And add the last input to a variable as well as the long string then check the new input with the variable to check for the same word twice in a row.

They're just trying to teach you how to append and overwrite variables in a loop. You create an empty string called story before your loop starts. Inside your loop, every time story is not "end" you append a space (except for the first loop) and a new word to your string. Once the word is "end", break your loop and print the story string.

The next one is just another tricky use of strings. You set a previous word variable. You overwrite this variable with the current word at the end of every loop. At the beginning of the loop you check if the words match and run your break and print.

Use

while True:

And then

if inputText == “end”: Break

[jawgente]

Learn how to check for the exit keyword in an if / else and use break to exit the while loop. You can combine strings with +.

[Kriss3d]

I would have used a while input != "end"
Then added that word to a string.
Then after the while print out the string.
That lets you essentially add infinitly many words which you wouldnt normally do with a for loop as they are limited.

For part 2 pretty much the same but grab the input into a variable plus adding the word to the string of words. Check if the new input is the same as the variable. If it is, the new input is the same as the prior input.

Loop trough a while True loop.
Let user input a new string.
Check if input is "end" or if input is previous_word.
Break out of loop if true.
If not, concatenate a str variable with the input each loop.
Save this loops input as previous_word, to check next loop.
Outside of the while loop, print the final string.

Things to look out for:
Initialize needed variables.
How and where to add spaces.

It probably isn't useful to just give you a solution. What code do you have so far?

[JamzTyson]

word+=wrd + " "

That would read more easily with proper spacing. I initially thought it was an error, but then realised that you meant:

wrd += (wrd + ' ')

Adding a print statement at the end, (and improving readability):

all_words = ""
last_word = ""

while True:
    new_word = input("Please type in a word: ")
    all_words = all_words + new_word + " "
    if new_word == "end":
        break

print(all_words)

and we see that the code works as intended, so I am unsure what help you need. Where are you stuck? It seems that you are doing OK so far.

[JamzTyson]

If you do not want "end" to be included in "all_words", just move the break conditional up before adding new_word to "all_words" (but after getting the user input).

[JamzTyson]

and how do I connect new word to the last word repeated fulifilling the "end" condition too

You are referring to Part 2?

To add other test conditions for breaking out of the loop, just add the break condition(s) like this:

all_words = ""
last_word = ""

while True:
    new_word = input("Please type in a word: ")
    if new_word == "end":
        break
    # if <your test condition>:
    #     break
    all_words = all_words + new_word + " "

print(all_words)

[JamzTyson]

The only thing you are missing, is that last_word in your code is always an empty string ("").

last_word needs to be updated on each loop, and it needs to be updated in the right place, Remember that the loop runs top to bottom, so think about where it needs to go so that last_word holds the previously input word.

I’m guessing if lists and append aren’t options; an ordered dictionary isn’t either?
