Question

I got this problem where I’m supposed to write a program that eats a few words (seperated by commas) and spits out a clean list with theese words. I cant get my problem to work. Any ideas?

def wordlist(word):
    return word.split(',')    

def main ():    
    sentence = input("write a few words and seperate them with , ")
    splitsentence = wordlist(sentence)
    for item in splitsentence:
        print(item)

main()

Answer 1

You’re printing the list every time instead of the specific item that you’re iterating on:

Instead of print(splitsetnence), you need print(item)

def main():
    sentence = input("write a few words and separate them with ,")
    splitsentence = wordlist(sentence)
    for item in splitsentence:
        print (item)

Also, be conscious of your indentation. The code in the original post does not look correctly indented.
