how to stop a while loop with two consecutive same strings form user input and then prints out the rest of the strings

Question

I am a complete beginner currently doing a online course of python to challenge myself and i have hit a wall so to speak. I would like to know how to stop a while loop using the word stop or two consecutive same words. This is the current code that i have:

all = "" #store variable
while True:
entry = input("Enter a word: ")
if entry == "stop":
        break
all += entry + " " #  add to list
print(all)

To stop the loop with two consecutive words, you can use split to get the last word entered and compare it to the current word.

Try this code:

all = ""   # store variable
while True:
    entry = input("Enter a word: ")
    if entry == "stop":
        break
    if len(all) and all.split()[-1] == entry:  # if same as last word
        break  
    all += entry + " " #  add to list
print(all)
