Question

5 essay 10 points write a python while loop that prompts the user to enter a word until the user enters a word that ends with the letter s. once a valid word is entered, print you enter followed by the word.

Explanation:

Step1: Initialize the loop condition

We start with a while loop that will run as long as the entered word does not end with 's'. We can use a flag or directly check the last character of the input word. Let's use the condition that the word does not end with 's'.
First, we need to get the initial input. So we can write:

word = input("Enter a word: ")
while word[-1] != 's':

Step2: Get input inside the loop

Inside the while loop, we need to prompt the user again to enter a word if the previous word did not end with 's'. So we add the input statement inside the loop:

    word = input("Enter a word: ")

Step3: Print the result

Once the loop exits (when the word ends with 's'), we print the message. So after the while loop, we add:

print(f"You entered {word}")

Putting it all together, the complete code is:

word = input("Enter a word: ")
while word[-1] != 's':
    word = input("Enter a word: ")
print(f"You entered {word}")

We need to make sure that the input is not empty (but for the sake of this problem, we assume the user enters a valid word). Also, we check the last character using word[-1] which gives the last character of the string word.

Answer:

The Python code is:

word = input("Enter a word: ")
while word[-1] != 's':
    word = input("Enter a word: ")
print(f"You entered {word}")
