371 PointsNameError: shopping_list is not defined
Hi! I'm trying to run this in my workspace and am getting a NameError in line one:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'shopping_list' is not defined
Here is my code:
shopping_list = list()
print('What should we pick up at the store?') 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's your list:')
for items in shopping_list print(items)
Any ideas?

371 PointsNot sure why it posted like that:
[shopping_list = list()
print('What should we pick up at the store?') 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's your list:')
for items in shopping_lis print(items)]

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsHere's your code formated below, with a few corrections:
shopping_list = list()
print('What should we pick up at the store?')
print('Enter done to stop adding items.')
while True:
new_item = input("> ")
if new_item == 'DONE': #<-- missing colon
break
shopping_list.append(new_item)
print('Added! List has {} items.'.format(len(shopping_list))) #<--mismatched quote marks
continue
print("Here's your list:") #<-- fixed conflicting single quotes
for items in shopping_list: #<-- corrected misspelled "shoppinglis"; add missing colon
print(items)
Seems to run well now.
