You don't need it. Use "some string".split() instead

Not only do you need to define them, but it would probably be a good
idea to populate them. And BTW, () is a tuple, not a list (but tuples
are perfectly ok for this use case).

(snip whole code listing)

Do you really expect us to run your code, fix the bugs and send it back?
Or are we supposed to guess what's "not working" ?

Please take a few minutes to read this:

or better, check if the the academic misconduct rules for the university you're
attending happens to say anything about "collusion".

You will find people are willing to help, even sometimes with homework
questions, when questioners show some evidence that they are looking to
learn rather than simply to have their problems solved for them.

Could you please keep this homework assignment in a single
thread in order to make it easier to ignore for those of us who
don't want to work on this particular homework problem for you?

If not, then you're likely to get get killfiled by many people
(all your postings will get ignored).

Yes, he apparently does. He's told us that it's homework, but that he
hasn't learned enough from his teacher.

Apparently that learning also didn't include the prohibitions against
colluding with others. Nevertheless, I'll bet they are still present.

In this case, a better section is:

Grovelling is not a substitute for doing your homework

Part G6

Collusion

A student colludes when he or she works without permission with
another person or persons to produce work which is then presented as
work completed independently by the student.

Collusion includes, but is not limited to:

- writing the whole or part of an assignment with another person;

- using the notes of another person to prepare an assignment;

- using for an assignment the resource materials of another person
that have been annotated or parts of the text highlighted or
underlined by that person;

- allowing another student, who has to submit an assignment on the
same topic, access to one's own assignment under conditions which
would give that other student an advantage in submitting his or her
assignment
