Hi Rafael,
LogActivities = []
prompt = ("What have you done today? Enter 'quit' to exit. ")
while True:
activity = input(prompt)
# Do this here so 'quit' is not appended to the list
if activity == 'quit': # To get out of the loop
break
# If still in the loop, append this activity to the list
# Note, no else statement here
LogActivities.append(activity)
# Do this outside the loop
if LogActivities: # See if the list is not empty
print("Let me recap. This is what you've done today: %s." %
", " .join(LogActivities))
