Unclear about Homework Directions/Whether or not the code matches the instructions.

[devout fable]

It's been some time but time for another question again. I'm confused about what it means by "token at index 0 is the word quit" I have programmed some of it but I'm not certain about that line so I don't know where to start off. I know I'm getting a type error because the bracket [] has an index of 0 with str which I don't think it correct since that would result in a type error.

Terminate Function:

    user = input("Are you sure you want to quit? (Y/y): ")
    if user == "Y" or user == "y":
        return True
    else:
        return False```
Main Function: 

```def main(str):
    command = input()
    while len(command):
        command.split()
        index = str[0]
        if "quit" == command & "quit" == index:
            if terminate(): #don't repeat functions
                print("Goodbye!")
            try:
                if command == "":
                    break
            except:
                print("Enter a command or 'quit' to quit")

main()```

The homework instructions are given for context. Thank you for your time 😄 Of course it's a programming class in college so I'm not going to be given enough time to complete it so I'm asking questions to understand the concept of the problem better.

I think it's saying that if the first word is "quit", call the terminate function

[devout fable]

Is that what they mean by token the zero? If that's the case I probably don't need my index variable

Wait so if the user enters "quit" then call terminate function? I don't think my code matches that then

[devout fable]

Let me clarify I thought I was supposed to get the word "quit" from the index zero and increment each letter to get "quit" I'm guessing that’s not how I'm supposed to do it though

[devout fable]

    command = input(">>")
    command.split()
    while len(command):
        if "quit" == command:
            print("Goodbye!")
            terminate() #don't repeat functions
            try:
                if command == "":
                    break
            except:
                print("Enter a command or 'quit' to quit")

main()``` I updated my main function now I'm not getting an error and when I type the word "quit" which leads to "goodbye" then it leads to "are you sure you want to quit Y/y" so I type y but it continues to ask the same question "are you sure you want to quit Y/y"

It doesn't match my desired output since I need it to be >> quit "are you sure you want to quit Y/y" then print "goodbye"

Goodbye!
Are you sure you want to quit? (Y/y): y
Goodbye!
Are you sure you want to quit? (Y/y):``` The current output

[devout fable]

I managed to fix my output but for some reason my try and except isn't working when I press enter which is an empty string it still prints "goodbye" but I want it to print ""Enter a command or 'quit' to quit"

    command = input(">>")
    command.split()
    while terminate_function:
        if "quit" == command:
            terminate()
            print("Goodbye!")
        else:
            pass
            try:
                if command == "":
                    break
            except:
                print("Enter a command or 'quit' to quit")

main()``` I updated my code and terminate function is a global variable that returns the boolean True which is at the very top of the file
