Answer 1

Your code will automatically print the second element in the list (eventhough it is not the longest string) because of the condition "if lst[0] != max" This will be always True on second iteration:

To fix:
-> set the first element of the lst as default "max".
max = lst[0]
-> change the max if it is longer than the previous one.
-> print max outside loop or after iteration.

If you need more explanation, please feel free to ask. Thanks!
