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
