[Tutor] tiny, little issue with list

[Sri Kavi]

Hi Rafael,


LogActivities = []

prompt = ("What have you done today? Enter 'quit' to exit. ")

while True:
    activity = input(prompt)

    # Do this here so 'quit' is not appended to the list
    if activity == 'quit':  # To get out of the loop
        break

    # If still in the loop, append this activity to the list
    # Note, no else statement here
    LogActivities.append(activity)

# Do this outside the loop
if LogActivities:   # See if the list is not empty
    print("Let me recap. This is what you've done today: %s." %
    ", " .join(LogActivities))
