pig_latin: join or append? (solved - it was both!)

Question

My code is just printing the last word in the string. I'm thinking maybe I should amend but not sure what can and should be amended. Any pointers would be great. Thanks.

x = input()
x = x.split()
x = list(x)

for i in x:
x = (i[1:] + i[0] + 'ay')

print(''.join(x))

Answer 1

It should look like this. You're referencing x over and over again, so it doesn't work.

Answer 2

Alex, sorry, my mistake. I have changed it.

Answer 3

Nice one. Cheers. Makes perfect sense with the added []. That's what I was missing all along. All the iterations without them is what led me to having all the x!

Answer 4

Thanks. Your code just prints out the words as they are entered. I've got this far:

#Only the last word is printed? How come y does not join?

x = input().split()
for i in x:
y = (i[1:] + i[0] + 'ay')

print(''.join(y))

An aside how is .split() any different to creating a list?
