Question

file = open('textfile.txt','w')
word = ''
while word.upper() != 'END':
     word = raw_input('Enter a word use END to quit')
     file.write(word + '\n')
file.close()

In the code (given above), the word END used to indicate end of word list is also stored in the file. Modify the code so that end is not stored in the file.

Answer 1

with open("textfile.txt", "w") as file:
    while True:
        word = input("Enter a word (END to quit): ")
        if word.upper() == "END":
            break
        file.write(word + "\n")

The termination test is performed before write(), so END is not stored.
