shopping_list.py does not run correctly. "Added..." message does not print nor does the list get printed at the end.

Hey,

Looks like you are not in a while loop. If you are trying to exit on DONE and print the list. Than the DONE function needs to print the list. The list must also be at the proper scope. Or if you are not in a while loop try something like this.

A = True

while A:

all your code

When you type DONE - the list will print. But you need to have a way to EXIT the loop. So how about, type DONE to see your list, and EXIT to exit the program. Then in the EXIT function. Put A = false.

This way the while loop will end.

It's hard without seeing your code. If you post the code, I can help you more.

Thanks. Here is my code so far:

''' <p> 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 item in shopping_list:
  print(item)

<\p>

'''

Hey,

A little less code, I changed the DONE to make new item always upper in the event I actually typed done and note DONE. Put it into a while loop for break and continue are not needed.

shopping_list = list() 
print("What should we pick up at the store?\n Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.")
Run = True
while Run:
    new_item = raw_input("Item to add> ") 
    if new_item.upper() == 'DONE':
        print("List has {} items.\n Here is your list {}".format(len(shopping_list), shopping_list))
        Run = False
    shopping_list.append(new_item)
    print("Added! List has {} items and here they are {}".format(len(shopping_list), shopping_list))
