Courses Plus Student 2,080 PointsIssue with my control flow statement.
in the Taco Party example the continue statement does not want to cooperate with me today.... when I run it, it acts as if the continue statement was not even here. Did I mess up indentation ?? it looks okayish to me.
Can someone please point out what I'm I doing wrong here.
shopping_list = []
def show_help():
print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' to get help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your wish list.
""")
def add_to_list(item):
shopping_list.append(item)
print("We ADDED the item {} for you, There is {} items in your list ".format(item, len(shopping_list)))
def show_list():
print("Your List: ")
for item in shopping_list:
print(item)
show_help()
while True:
new_item = input(">")
if new_item.upper() == "DONE":
break
elif new_item.upper == "HELP":
show_help()
continue
elif new_item.upper == "SHOW":
show_list()
continue
add_to_list(new_item)
show_list()

" method is missing the parentheses after the method name (on two lines).
Remember that method or function calls must always have parentheses even when no arguments are being passed.
