create a new empty list called shopping_list
shopping_list = []
create a function named add_to_list that declares a parameter named item
def add_to_list(item): # add the item to the list shopping_list.append(item) # notify user of total items in list print("Added! List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))
def show_help(): 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 the whole list. """) print(show_help())
def show_list(): for item in shopping_list: print("Here's your list:") for item in shopping_list: print(item)
while True: new_item = input("> ") # prompts for new data to be added to list
if new_item == 'DONE': # terminates prompt when DONE is entered
break # breaks the loop
elif new_item == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
elif new_item == 'SHOW':
show_list()
continue
# call add_to_list with new_item as an argument
add_to_list(new_item)
print(show_list())
the word "none" keeps showing up in my lists, and my list repeats twice when I use "DONE" command
