Question

can anyone explain me the need of line no 5 i,e word=words[counter] in the above example in an easier way
plz m a beginner

Answer 1

We iterate over a list. Word value will be hello at first iter, world at second iter... and so one.

Answer 2

Is the following line counter += 1 or counter = counter + 1?
If so whats happening is that
word = words[counter]
Counter will represent the index number starting from 0, index meaning the item number from the list...
Until it reached the length of that max_length variable an item from words will return to the variable word
