How to replace space in a string with \n

[Michael Poeltl]

hi ^Bert,

I've just thought that you don't like to use text.replace(' ', '\n'), and so I came up with another way to get the job done.

So it was part of a "school-test" - uiuitststs ;-)

follow the hint from Peter then, and inside *your* for-loop ask yourself, how to inspect the value of c in a loop and what to do *if* the value of c was ' ' .

as mentioned, a string is immuteable, so you cannot change it *inplace* - you have to build a new str-object (has a new object-id the starting with an empty string say

newtext = ''
and with each loop over your original text you add one character like

newtext = newtext+c

and only if c has a value of ' ', then you add a different value like '\n'

well, now you should try to understand peters for-loop, and then you should try to combine what you have learned with the if-statement within the for(-loop) block

happy learning the python-language! It's a great one, this I can promise you!
regards
Michael
