Python help thread?

Use [noparse]

Code:

, not [quote][/noparse] when inputting code.

[quote=Alley]So, basically I have to return a string backwards. So if I input "Cookies are freaking good.", it has to return, ".doog gnikaerf era seikooC".


Here's what I think has to be done, but it isn't working.[/QUOTE]

[code]
def backwards_word(words):
     index = 0
     while index <= len(words):
          letter = words[index]
          print letter
          index -= 0 #Did you mean += 1 here? -= 0 doesn't change the index at all

words = raw_input("Word: ")

backwards_word(words)

Or you could use some Python-fu and do this:

Code:

inputString = "Cookies are freaking good."
inputString = inputString[::-1]
print(inputString)

@JPTheMonkey

Do:

sent.split(" ")

Alternatively:

Code:

import re

sent = raw_input("Enter the sentence you would like to have translated: ")
words = re.findall("\w+", sent)
print(words)
