''' Purpose: expand input processing capabilities by splitting
         an input string into its component words
'''

# get input
reply = input( 'What are your three favorite words: ' )

print()

# determine individual words w1, w2, and w3

# Think about how you can use the below statement in break_the_bank!
# You have four things!

w1, w2, w3 = reply.split() # This is multiple assignment
# You are assigning three variables at once to three different things
# since reply.split() produces a list of three different things
# (or however many words you entered split up)

# w1, w2, w3, w4 = reply.split() - now type in four words as input and you
# can have four words :)

# If reply is "I love pizza", reply.split() produces a list of words
# separated by spaces ["I", "love", "pizza"]
# Each word w1, w2, w3 is assigned to a word in the list produced by reply.split()
# w1 is "I" w2 is "love" w3 is "pizza"

# .split() is a function applied to a SINGLE string.
# .split() is called on a string so reply is a string right?
# reply.split() will take that string and break it up into
# different pieces based on spaces (by default)
# reply.split() will split the string into a list of words based on
# where there were spaces (whitespace) in the original string and
# hand you back a list
# of words in the string.
# The reason why I said by default in line 18 was because .split()
# can take in a parameter and separate it based on something else too :)
# More on that later! For now, we separate the string by spaces!

# display results

print( w1 )
print( w2 )
print( w3 )

# You can probably do any number of things however way you want
# and we've either not covered it YET or
# not shown certain specific examples ; we recommend you just
# do things the way we taught it and experiment different ways to switch
# it up on your own on Pycharm and if you run into problems let us know
# or post on piazza outside class.
