''' Purpose: examine a list of words
'''

# get text from user
reply = input( 'Enter text: ' )

print()

# split text into words
# .split() separates based on where it sees whitespace.
# It doesn't split on like "number of inputs" but rather
# wherever it sees whitespace. It gets the things around the
# whitespace and makes each thing separated by whitespace a list
# element in our list of smaller substrings we created by
# splitting it.

words = reply.split() # 'hi im nadia'-> ['hi','im','nadia']
 
# let's see what we got
print( 'Supplied text =', reply )
print( 'words =', words )

print()

# analyze text

# w is the loop variable. We remember from last class that
# the loop variable changes value in each iteration of this loop.
# w is the first word in the list, runs through the loop, then w
# is the next word in the list, runs through the loop, etc. all the
# way to the end of the words list.
# It repeats the for loop body for EACH new value of the loop variable.
# (the number of things in your sequence)
# Remember our sequences include (loops break sequences down into
# the smaller pieces of a larger sequence!):
# and the loop variable takes on each smaller part of the larger
# sequence. 
    # String (characters)
    # Lists (elements)
    # Range of Numbers (i,j) - numbers i to j - 1
for w in words : # reply is a string and words is a list
    # get current word's length
    len_w = len( w )

    # echo current word and it's length
    print( w, ":", len_w )

# For loop body is indented! All of these statements are repeated
# for each new value of the loop variable.
# Loop variables can be anything!

# FOR LOOP FORMAT
# for LV in sequence:
    # loop body (all statements that get executed each time
    # we run through the loop)
