I want to print the items position, and the last item added for instance:
- kfc
- coffee
- ice cream
But what I get is:
1.kfc
1.coffee 2.coffee
- ice cream 2.ice cream
- ice cream
Here is my code:

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I can only assume you meant the vending2.py in your workspace. I forked it and took a look and reworked your indo function to print out what I think you're asking for.
def indo():
index = 1
for word in snacks:
print("{}. {}.".format(index, word))
index += 1
The way you had it before you were saying essentially this: "For every item in the "snacks" list print out the last item in the snacks list". So for example, if you had three items in the list, but coffee appeared last in the list, it would have printed out "3. coffee" and while the 3 would have been updated because you're incrementing, the last item in the list has not changed during this.
Hope this helps!

7,779 PointsJennifer Nordell Hi Jen,
I think I may have explained it wrong. I want to append all of the 'drinks' except for water. so when it prompts me for what I would like to have, I keep answering 'drinks'. Then once I answer with 'drinks' but water is the next thing in the list I want it to exit.
So I dont want to type 'water' I just want to keep appending 'drinks', once it hits water it should exit.

7,779 PointsHi Jennifer I've modified this code, I want it to exit when the item "water" is trying to be added but it won't work, could you take a look? Vending2.py again.

Treehouse Teacheryoussef moustahib Hi there! I really don't know what to tell you here. When I fork your workspace and run the code, any time I type in any variant of water including "water" or "WATER", it exits the program. Are you positive you spelled water correctly and are you positive you saved your file?
