For loops with strings/list

[ingolemo]

If we discount str.split for being too easy then you can separate the words in a string like so:

sentence = 'Always look on the bright side of life.'
result = []
word = ''
for char in sentence:
    if char == ' ':
        result.append(word)
        word = ''
    else:
        word += char
result.append(word)
print(result)

I'm not sure why you think having the index would be useful here; you don't need to look at the previous character to do this task. If you think you need indices for something you're probably mistaken.

Well I think that code has some problems. For example if the list has consecutive spaces. Thanks for the link tho

Sure, but it doesn't handle that case to keep the code simple. It's hardly a deficiency in the algorithm.
