Hello, I am a beginning python student and I am having trouble with a
program I am writing . The problem requires me to use "while" and that I
create a function that allows the user to a create sentence by inputing a
string and to end the sentence with a period meaning inputing "." .The
problem is while keeps overwriting the previuos input and it still asks for
a string even after it prints out .
Here is the output I am getting
Enter the first word in your sentence: I
Enter the next word in your sentence: am
Enter the next word in your sentence: a
Enter the next word in your sentence: novice
Enter the next word in your sentence: .
I . .
Enter the next word in your sentence:
Here is the desired output:
:
Enter the first word in your sentence: I
Enter the next word in your sentence: am
Enter the next word in your sentence: a
Enter the next word in your sentence: novice
Enter the next word in your sentence: .
I am a novice.
Here is my code:
def B1():
#Creates a function called B1
period = "."
# The variable period is assigned
first = input("Enter the first word in your sentence ")
#The variable first is assigned
next1 = input("Enter the next word in you sentence or enter period:")
#The variable next 1 is assigned
# I need store the value so when while overwrites next1 with the next
input the previous input is stored and will print output when I call it
later along with last one
# I believe the solution is some how implenting this expression x = x+
variable
while next1 != (period) :
next1 = input("Enter the next word in you sentence or enter period:")
if next1 == (period):
next1 = next1 + period
print ("Your sentence is:",first,next1,period)
PS : The" #" is I just type so I can understand what each line does
