Answer 1

#explanation is in comments, read ones
#words is defined as a list of 4 elements by
words = ["hello", "world", "spam", "eggs"]

#for start index of list, ie words[0] ="hello"
counter = 0

#for last max index of list,
max_index = len(words) - 1

#while 0 to max_index reached, loop runs, and loop exits when counter is greater than maz_index
while counter <= max_index:

#extracting list item at index ' counter' into word
word = words[counter]

print(word + "!") #displaying

#incrementing counter to take next index for next value of list item.. So counter values are varies from 0,1,2,3,4
counter = counter + 1

Output:

hello!
world!
spam!
eggs!

Ifham Khwaja hope it clears. If not mention where you not understood..
It just displaying words[0] to words[3].

Answer 3

I did not understand this. What does extracting list item at index counter mean? What does counter variable mean

#extracting list item at index ' counter' into word
word = words[counter]

print(word + "!") #displaying

Answer 4

And what does word = words [counter] mean. Is it some kind of loop or list ? I am confused

Answer 5

Ifham Khwaja extracting list item at index counter mean "getting value from list at specified index by counter " as an its value..
What does counter variable mean '"you are initialized a variable "counter = 0" that variable i reffereing. If you take it as just cn then it is cn..

#extracting
word = words[counter];
here words is list and value at index "counter" is assigned to variable word.
Ex:
word = words[0] => then word ="hello".
word = words[1] => then word = "world"..
Hope it clears...
