'''
Write a program (using functions!) that asks the user for a long string containing multiple words. Print back to the user the same string, except with the words in backwards order.
Sample
My name is Camilla
output: Camilla is name My
-PSEUDOCODE-
1) Ask user a string
2) Get string and break it
3) Change the order of string
4) Union the string
STRING ARE LISTS !!!!
string = "example"
for c in string:
print "one letter: " + c
'''
string_input = input("Insert a long phrase: ")
#print(string_input) test if input is print
split_string = string_input.split()
#print(split_string) test if string become list
for word_break in reversed(split_string):
print( "".join(word_break))Output:
Insert a long phrase: My name is Camilla
Camilla
is
name
My
Hi,
I would that these words are display in a single line but I tried to change my loop statement and never is changed.
Can you help me?
print( "".join(word_break),end="")
You don't need a loop, join can do that for you. Just pass the reversed list of words (all of them) to join.

Thanks it works!!!

I see that you can use also reverse() but I saw this solution in Stackoverflow to reverse a list

Hi!
You could also do:
string_input = input("Insert a long phrase: ")
split_string = string_input.split()
print(*reversed(split_string), sep=' ')Output:
Output:
Insert a long phrase: My name is Camilla
Camilla is name My

All the best,

All the best,
Thanks I will check like alternative solution
I personally have no respect for courses and tutors who write in assignment "STRING ARE LISTS !!!!".
Strings are
iterables. Strings are
sequences. But this doesn't make them lists.
Whoever wrote it should be faced with:
>>> s = 'abc'
>>> type(s)
<class 'str'>
>>> isinstance(s, list)
False
Hi perfringo,
I didn't know that string aren't list, but I maybe I think that they refered a string is immutable like a list (then I don't know if this is correct or not).
Forgive me if I said something wrong.

Strings are
immutable and list are
mutable
sequences.
I recommend to read documentation:
Sequence Types — list, tuple, range
Quote:There are three basic sequence types: lists, tuples, and range objects. Additional sequence types tailored for processing of binary data and text strings are described in dedicated sections.
There are described Common Sequence Operations, Mutable and Immutable Sequences, and Text Sequence types.
Strings and lists are
iterable.
Difference between sequence and iterable can be described as: sequence has order i.e. one can access items by index (str, list, tuple, range) but iterable is capability to return one item at the time and therefore supports in addition to sequences un-ordered datastructures like sets as well.
But in no circumstances one should consider string as list.
