I used the same code and when it asks to add i enter it and it does not say Added and when i type DONE nothing happen.

shopping_list = list()

print("What should we get at the store today?") print("Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.")

while True: new_item = input("> ")

if new_item == 'DONE': break

shopping_list.append(new_item)
print("Added! List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))
continue

print("Here is your list: ")

for item in shopping_list: print(item)

I used that code and for some reason it does not work..

Hey there, looks like you need to use brackets instead of parenthesis for shopping_list.

So… shopping_list = list[]

Also, the indentation may be off. If you can post the whole code as its currently formatted, I could check it for you.

I seemed to figure it out, The brackets seemed to help. Thanks!
