2,644 PointsPutting all code into a function challenge
I followed the instructions exactly but I feel that I'm missing something. I think all of my indenting is correct but sometimes it helps to have a second set of eyes.
def show_help():
# print out instructions on how to use the app
print("What should we pick up at the store?")
print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.
""")
def show_list(shopping_list):
# print out the list
print("Here's your list:")
for item in shopping_list:
print(item)
def add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item):
# add new items to our list
shopping_list.append(new_item)
print("Added {}. List now has {} items.".format(new_item, len(shopping_list)))
return shopping_list
def main():
show_help()
# make a list to hold onto our items
shopping_list = []
while True:
# ask for new items
new_item = input("> ")
# be able to quit the app
if new_item == 'DONE':
break
elif new_item == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
elif new_item == 'SHOW':
show_list(shopping_list)
continue
add_to_list(shopping_list, new_item)
show_list(shopping_list)
