Programming exercise: Story (SUGGESTED FIX)

[valentin-esmeralda]

I found when I used this code the program accepted it (code 1 below). The output to code 1 is seen as:

(base) Valentín Python_Programming_MOOC $ python3 construction.py
Please type in a word: hello hi
Please type in a word: sup sup
Please type in a word:

Notice that if you input to nonidentical words in the beginning, and then two identical the program still expects it. I think this should also be tested rather than just "hello" "world world" but something like "hi hello" "world world". I fixed this with code 2.

CODE 1

words = ''
word_list = []
word_list_dup = []

while True: 
    word = input("Please type in a word: ")
    if word != 'end':

        if " " in word:
            # print('There is a space:')
            word_list_dup.append(word.split())
            # print(f'words with space: {word_list_dup}')
            word_list.extend(word_list_dup[0][::])
            # print(" ".join(word_list))
            # print('printing here 1')

            if word_list[-1] == word_list[-2]:
                # print('printing here 1')
                print(" ".join(word_list[:-1]))
                break

        elif " " not in word:
            words += word + ' '
            word_list.append(word)
            # print('printing here 2')
            # print(" ".join(word_list))
        
            if len(word_list) >= 2:
                if word_list[-1] == word_list[-2]:
                    # print('printing here 3')
                    print(" ".join(word_list[:-1]))
                    break
                else:
                    # print('printing here 4')
                    # print(" ".join(word_list))
                    continue

    elif word == 'end':
        print(" ".join(word_list))
        # print('printing here end')
        break

CODE 2

words = ''
word_list = []
word_list_dup = []

while True: 
    word = input("Please type in a word: ")
    if word != 'end':

        if " " in word:
            new_words = word.split()
            word_list.extend(new_words)
            # print('printing here 1')
            # print(f'word list: {word_list}')
            # print(f'length of word list: {len(word_list)}')

            if len(word_list) >= 2: # new line here
                if word_list[-1] == word_list[-2]:
                    # print('printing here 2')
                    print(" ".join(word_list[:-1]))
                    break

        elif " " not in word:
            words += word + ' '
            word_list.append(word)
            # print('printing here 3')
            # print(" ".join(word_list))
        
            if len(word_list) >= 2:
                if word_list[-1] == word_list[-2]:
                    # print('printing here 4')
                    print(" ".join(word_list[:-1]))
                    break
                else:
                    # print('printing here 5')
                    # print(" ".join(word_list))
                    continue

    elif word == 'end':
        print(" ".join(word_list))
        # print('printing here end')
        break
