Program outputs 1131 not 1121

Question

I have ran into a logic error that I cannot solve and would like some assistance towards it.
Here's my code

Mysentence = MySentence 

print(Mysentence)

MysentenceList = Mysentence.split()

List = []



for k in MysentenceList:

    position = MysentenceList.index(k)

    position = position + 1

    position = str(position)

    List.append(position)



Number = ",".join(TheList)

print(Number)

Number = "\n" + Number

fileName = input("File Name: ")

fileName = fileName + ".txt"

Basically cannot handle unique words

Answer 1

If you want to assign each word a "unique id", you'd have to manage this in another data structure. Another list would do the trick:

UniqueWords = []
for k in ThesentenceList:
    if k in UniqueWords:
        position = UniqueWords.index(k)
    else:
        position = len(UniqueWords)
        UniqueWords.append(k)
    position = position + 1
    position = str(position)
    TheList.append(position)

Program outputs 1131 not 1121
