Same script different output?

Hi Christian,

I found the issue in your code, you are correct the code is mostly right and is exactly like the solution, however you made a spacing mistake. These mistakes are common in python I have to watch out for them myself. In your code:

output.append(''.join(state_list).capitalize())

It is under the while true, when should be under for vowel in vowels:, so your output.append is being executed too many times because it's under the while True section instead of for vowel in vowels:

To fix this all you need to do is go to the beginning of the output.append statement and delete one tab space so that it lines up with for vowel in vowels: part of the code, then your answer will look exactly like the tutorial's solution. For example:

def main():
    state_names = ["Alabama","California","Oklahoma","Florida"]
    vowels = list("aeiou")
    output = []

    for state in state_names:
        state_list = list(state.lower())

        for vowel in vowels:
            while True:
                try:
                    state_list.remove(vowel)
                except:
                    break
        output.append("".join(state_list).capitalize())


    print(output)
main()

I think you need to unindent the output.append line, so that it matches the 'break' line. Without that indent, the word will get appended every time a vowel is removed, which is why there is a lot of repeats in your final list.

Hello Christian.

I have edited your question so that it matches these guidelines, please have a read: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

Getting to your question: Are you sure the code is the same? First thing I have noticed for example is that the indentation of the line starting with output.append does not match the indentation of the video's code.

That could be a starting point to debug the code...

;)

Let me know if you need more help!
