Note that I made a short list of words since I don't have your file of words to use. Here is a slightly reformatted version:
def is_alphabetical():
# fin = open('words.txt') #words.txt is the list of words
fin = ['words','and','more','words']
index = 1
for word in fin:
while index < len(word):
if ord(word[index]) >= ord(word[index - 1]):
index += 1
if index == len(word):
print(word)
else:
break
else:
break
is_alphabetical()
The first thing is that comments are annotated with #
Now, if we change your break
statements to print statements we can see that your while loop is infinite and it is getting to the break statement every time.
def is_alphabetical():
# fin = open('words.txt') #words.txt is the list of words
fin = ['words','and','more','words']
index = 1
for word in fin:
while index < len(word):
if ord(word[index]) >= ord(word[index - 1]):
index += 1
if index == len(word):
print(word)
else:
# break
print('First Break')
else:
# break
print('Second Break')
is_alphabetical()
The problem is that ord() doesn't do what you think it does.
You need to split the word into a list of letters, use sorted(), then print the letters out.
