Using while loops to count elements in a list

Question

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


        

Answer 1

You can use the following while loop to check for the number of places before Sochi:

places = ["Jack", "John", "Sochi"]
count = 0
multi_word = 0
while count < len(places):
    place = places[count]
    if ' ' in place:
        multi_word += 1
    if place == "Sochi":
        break
    count += 1

print('Number of cities before Sochi:', count)

The break statement means you'll exit your while loop.
