Question

I’m doing some tutorials online, and I’m stuck with an exercise :Write a function getBASIC() which takes no arguments, and does the following: it should keep reading lines from input using a while loop; when it reaches the end it should return the whole program in the form of a list of strings. Example of list of strings:

5 GOTO 30
10 GOTO 20
20 GOTO 10
30 GOTO 40
40 END

I wrote a program, but it doesn’t work, however I will post it too:

def getBASIC():
    L=[]
    while "END" not in L:
        L.append(str(input()))
        if str(input()).endswith("END"):
            break
    return L

Also I notice you that I’m not allowed to use IS or RECURSION .

try this one:

def get_basic():
    L = []
    while True:
        line = str( input() )
        L.append( line )
        if "END" in line:
            break
    return L
