word = []
while True:
    new_word = input("Word: ")
    word_checker = new_word
    if word_checker in word:
        break
sivert = len(word)
print (f"You typed in {sivert} words")

it's supposed to break the loop after you type in 2 of the same words

[glass basalt]

so you will need to update word for every iteration

[proven mantle]

OHH

I forgot

[glass basalt]

all g lol

[proven mantle]

why did you delete?

[glass basalt]

forget what i just said

[proven mantle]

yeah I would need to count

[glass basalt]

i read it wrongly

[proven mantle]

don't I need to count?

[glass basalt]

2 of the same words right so thats one repeition?

[proven mantle]

oh yeah I'm stupid

[glass basalt]

yea yea so everything looks good just update the list

[proven mantle]

word = []
while True:
    new_word = input("Word: ")
    word_checker = new_word
    if word_checker in word:
        break
    word.append (new_word)
sivert = len(word)
print (f"You typed in {sivert} words")

[glass basalt]

and you also do not need the extra variable word checker

[proven mantle]

it still doesn't work hmm

[proven mantle]

yeah I'll just use new_word

[glass basalt]

hm

is it for a project

maybe try removing the string in the input

[proven mantle]

what

wdym remove the string in the input

[glass basalt]

so just use

    new_word = input()

is it possible to see the error?

[proven mantle]

no

this is my code now, and it prints out "Word:" for some reason

word = []
while True:
    new_word = input()
    word.append (new_word)
    if new_word in word:
        break
sivert = len(word)
print (f"You typed in {sivert} words")

[glass basalt]

whats the input

[proven mantle]

its empty

[glass basalt]

uhm

yea youll need to give it some input

is this for a coding problem or a self project

[proven mantle]

self project

[glass basalt]

ok so

your code should work

[proven mantle]

or its an online course

[glass basalt]

oh i see

so with the input() function

[proven mantle]

but I do it in my free time

[glass basalt]

oh ok

so

try typing something in the console

or terminal

and type a repeat of it

[proven mantle]

whle the code is running?

[glass basalt]

yep

[proven mantle]

it just loops

[glass basalt]

try typing the same thing again

bro i hate discord stickers

[proven mantle]

dude

it literally just loops

[glass basalt]

hm

can you add print(word) one line under the loop

[proven mantle]

huh

it doesn't print it out

let me restart my visual studio code

[glass basalt]

yeayea

[proven mantle]

bruh

[glass basalt]

word = []
while True:
    new_word = input()
    if new_word in word:
        break
    else:
        word.append(new_word)
sivert = len(word)
print (f"You typed in {sivert} words")

[proven mantle]

now its updated

[glass basalt]

this works for me

[glass basalt]

yummy i love VSC

is it working now?

[proven mantle]

ye

thanks

VSC is so good
