Go through the string below and if the length of a word is even change it to "even!"

Question

Code:

str1 = "Print every word in this sentence that has an even number of letters"

for a in str1.split():
if len(a)%2 ==0:
print('even!')
else:
print (a)

#Desired output:
['Print', 'every', 'even!', 'even!', 'even!', 'even!, 'that', ... , 'even!']

Answer 1

You're missing parenthesis for split() method.
Also, you can use ternary operator to do it like this

str1 = "Print every word in this sentence that has an even number of letters"

a = ["even!" if len(a)%2 == 0 else a for a in str1.split() ]
print(a)

You're welcome!
I have just seen your updated question.
In this context, you can declare an empty list and add it each items using append() instead.
