Hey @rugged karma!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

formatedpy names_list = [] people = 0 persons = int(input('how many people would you like to invite?:')) while persons != people: names = input('type in the names of the people.: ') names_list.append(names) print(names_list)

you dont increment people so it gets stuck in a infinite loop
and you didnt use .split() on names

!epy names_list = [] names = "Ben Alice Tom Luka MellowSatella" names_list.append(names) print(names_list) #above is your code, notice how in the print its just 1 thing in the list with all the names

['Ben Alice Tom Luka MellowSatella']

!epy names_list = [] names = "Ben Alice Tom Luka MellowSatella" names_list.extend(names.split(" ")) #.split(" ") splits the string at spaces and returns a list #.extent just extends the list, if you wouldn't do this then you would have a list inside of a list [["Ben", "Alice"...]] print(names_list)

[pseudo parrot]

i always learn programming languages with a book. a book is definetly a good way

but of course doing a lot of programming by yourself is the key

[pastel condor]

i struggle with a lot of fonts
