1,044 PointsI don't understand why some of my functions are not working.
shopping_list =list()
def show_help():
print ("What should we pick up at the store?")
print ("Enter 'DONE' to stop. Enter help for help.")
def add_to_list(item):
shopping_list.append(item)
print ("Added! The shopping list has {} items".format(len(shopping_list)))
def show_list():
print ("Here's your list:")
for item in shopping_list:
print (item)
show_help()
while True:
new_item = input("> ")
if new_item == 'DONE':
break
add_to_list(new_item)
continue
elif new_item == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
elif new_item == 'SHOW':
show_list()
continue
show_list()

Treehouse Guest TeacherThere shouldn't be a space between print
and the parentheses.
Also you don't want to break
before you do something. The something will never get done.
