Question

why is this code not printing the last word http://dpaste.com/780746/ it only prints john eats

Answer 1

add a space at the last of the string, like: 'john eats bread '.

It's because only when c == ' ', than the word would be printed.

Answer 2

you're only printing out the complete word if a space(' ') is detected. You don't have space at the end of string. If you try with 'John eats bread ', you will get to know the problem.

Answer 3

oh! I didn't realise Jack said the same thing. So stupid of me. Sorry!

Answer 4

this code print "john eats bread", your code is good, you can comment print word and word=' ' write in only line.

>>>word=' '

>>>for c in 'john eats bread':
print c
if c!=' ':
word = word + c
else:
#print word
word = ' '

Answer 5

for c in 'john eats bread ' -->you need a space
for c in 'john eats bread_'

Answer 6

in the following code http://dpaste.com/781646/ the the last word which is bread is translated and yet we don't have a space at the end of the sentence

Answer 7

Bread is translated because of the function call translateWord() lin line 22. It's not translated in Line 19-20.
All the other words are translated when they hit a space character in line 19-20. But since bread doesn't have a space char after it, it never goes into the else construct and just goes to return. But the variable word holds "bread". The return statement calls translateWord with word=bread, concatenates and returns. That's how bread is translated.
