Why should show_list() be put at the bottom of the line?

I thought show_list() should be just before break statement but the teacher says it should be at the bottom of the line. Is it not good to put just before the break statement? It seems there's no difference in the result between them.

You are correct that the call show_list() could also be placed in the “DONE” block before the break. For this code, the behavior would be equivalent. Which location is better depends on if more features get added to the code and whether those features would make one of the locations more convenient for the new flow control.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! Now I got it that I'd better choose the location depending on what flow I want to make on each case.
