Python Parsing Strings Assignment

Question

Hi this is my first post. I am working on homework for my Python course. I have my code nearly complete, however I am having an issue with a line break. I have three pictures showing my results when I submit for the grade. My theory is this is an issue with my loop and that I will need to add a break or change the structure somehow. If you could please also point me in the right direction and not give me the answer for free it would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I also have my code below:

string = input('Enter input string: ')

while string != 'q':
    if ',' not in string:
        print('\nError: No comma in string.')

    else:
        string = string.replace(' ','')
        string_parts = string.split(',')

        print('\nFirst word: %s' % string_parts[0])
        print('Second word: %s' % string_parts[1])

    user_input= input('Enter input string: ')
    string = user_input

Are the indents in your code block exactly the same as what you have in your scripts? — kerwei

Apologies I will try and edit my first post, here is what it looks like in the work book: imgur.com/oBy241X — bgetz

You have two places where you are explicitly printing a newline ('\n') character. Do you want to do that? Have you tried taking those out? To print a blank line, you can call print with no argument, like print(). Try putting one or more of those in places where your instructor wants to see spaces in the output. — CryptoFool

Comparing, your output and the expected one, I find the only difference to be the absence of the newline (\n) in yours. I don't think there is any problem with the structure of the loop.

Observe where the instructor requires you to put the newlines and just add them in the relevant parts of your loop.

Thank you, I returned to the problem and tried entering some newlines based on your tip and got full credit for the question.
