You can search it up on the internet.

Answer 2

Answer 3

the first loop of what?

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

As long as the counter is less than or equal to the max index of the list, it prints the word with an exclamation mark.

Answer 6

as list indices starts from 0, we do len(word) -1 to get the index of the last element.

Answer 7

Why don't you try it?

Answer 8

in counter = 1, it will start from the second element and so on.

Answer 9

You can. It still works.

Answer 10

the counter is used to iterate over the list words.

Answer 12

Answer 13

notice we add 1 to the counter at the end of each loop.

Answer 14

we add 1 so that the while loop doesn't keep going on for infinitely long.

Answer 16

Answer 17

Another thing: We can do it more easily using a for loop

words = ["hello", "world", "spam", "eggs"]
for word in words:
print(word + "!")

But I don't want to confuse you more!
