Python - printing multiple shortest and longest words from a list

Question

I need to go through a list and print the longest words in it. I can do this for just one word, but can\'t figure out how to print more than one, if there are two words

Answer 1

Your existing code could actually be modified to work without much trouble. Instead of keeping a single string in s, keep a list of strings. If you find one that's the same length as the previous longest, append it. If you find one that's even longer, throw out the list and start a new one. Like this:

p=0
s=[]
for item in lst:
    if len(item) > p:
        s=[item]
        p=len(item)
    elif len(item) == p:
        s.append(item)
print(s)
