Question

write a loop that inputs words until the user enters done. after each input, the program should number each entry and print in this format: #1: you entered __ when done is entered, the total number of words entered should be printed in this format: a total of words were entered. sample run please enter the next word: cat #1: you entered cat please enter the next word: iguana #2: you entered iguana please enter the next word: zebra #3: you entered zebra please enter the next word: dolphin #4: you entered dolphin please enter the next word: done a total of 4 words were entered.

Explanation:

Step1: Initialize word counter

Set word_count = 0

Step2: Start infinite loop

Use while True: to loop continuously

Step3: Prompt for user input

user_input = input("Please enter the next word: ")

Step4: Check for exit condition

If user_input.upper() == "DONE", break loop

Step5: Increment counter & confirm entry

word_count += 1
print(f"#{word_count}: You entered {user_input}")

Step6: Print final count after loop

print(f"A total of {word_count} words were entered.")

Answer:

word_count = 0
while True:
    user_input = input("Please enter the next word: ")
    if user_input.upper() == "DONE":
        break
    word_count += 1
    print(f"#{word_count}: You entered {user_input}")
print(f"A total of {word_count} words were entered.")

When run, this code will match the sample output behavior: it prompts for words, numbers each entry, and prints the total count once DONE is entered.
