Data Analysis Techdegree Student 1,074 PointsNot sure why this will not loop
I'm following along with the video but my work will not print attendee in attendees. Not sure what I'm missing:
attendees = ["Ken", "Alena", "Treasure"]
attendees.append("Ashley")
attendees.extend(["James", "Gill"])
optional_invitees = ["Ben","Dave"]
potential_attendees = attendees + optional_invitees
print("There are", len(potential_attendees), "potential attendees currently")
treehouse:~/workspace$ python -i meeting.py
There are 8 potential attendees currently
>>> attendees
['Ken', 'Alena', 'Treasure', 'Ashley', 'James', 'Gill']
>>> for attendee in attendees:
... print(attendee)

There are 8 potential attendees currently
>>> attendees
['Ken', 'Alena', 'Treasure', 'Ashley', 'James', 'Gill']
>>> for attendee in attendees:
... print(attendee)
... <-- NOTE: it takes an extra newline to let Python know you are done typing
Ken
Alena
Treasure
Ashley
James
Gill
