[Tutor] 2 problems in a small script

[Aditya Lal]

w.r.t. prob 2, there is no break/continue in the code that you have given. I
added the "break" statement after you remove the word from lstB and code
does seems to work for me.

  <snip />
            if word in lstB:
                lstB.remove(word)
                print
                print "Removed", word
            break
  <snip />

Can you specify where did you try putting break/continue ?
