Using while loops to count elements in a list

Question

places = [\"Jack\", \"John\", \"Sochi\"]
count=0
multi_word=0
place  = places[count]
while place != \"Sochi\" and count < len(places):
    if \' \' in place:
             


        

Answer 1

count=0
place = places[count]

Now place is always places[0], i.e. Jack. Thus the while loop only terminates on the second condition, giving you the list length of 3.

place = places[count] should go in the loop.
