Question

words = ["hello", "world", "spam", "eggs"]

max_index = len(words) - 1

while counter <= max_index:
word = words[counter]
print(word + "!")

what does the [counter] in the 6th line represent? or why do we have to put it there? .please explain.

But this is a realy complicated Solution. You can reach the same Output with:

words = ["hello", "world", "spam", "eggs"]
for word in words:
print(word + "!")
