[Tutor] help getting acronym to print?

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Didn't go through everything, but why do you do:

 >    for phrase in string.split(phrase):
 >     acronym = string.upper(phrase[0])


you are iterating with the name of the list? bad juju

try something like

acronym = ""

for word in string.split(phrase):
     acronym = acronym + string.upper(word[0])

then the acronym variable will hold the initial letter to every word
