This behavior is not acceptable.  Any more posts like this and you will

And the first thing that I note is that he checks to see if it is in
the list from which it came.

The first thing I note in looking at this is that the second loop will
run AFTER the first loop completes, not for each step of the loop,
because you outdented the code.

Also, you unconditionally add the word, and THEN check if it is in the list.

Below is my approach which I am sure is wrong somewhere and it doesn't work the 
way expected, the append doesn't do anything in my code nor does it returns any 
traceback all i see is a empty list printed at the end, I am using win10 x64 
python 3.x atom-editor. Please take a look if you can tell me what am I doing 
wrong here. I want to check each list word by word if the word is not repeated 
in the same list it should be appended to a 'newlist'. Thanks in advance

handle = open('file.txt')
newlist = list()
for line in handle:
#line.rstrip()
linewords = line.split()
print(linewords)

for word in linewords:
newlist.append(word)
if word not in linewords:
continue



print('new: ',newlist)

The way to use this mailing list is to explain your problem, which you
have done.  Then, show the code you have written with the results it
produces.  Its good to include the operating system you are using
(windows, linux, osx), and if your code produces a traceback, copy and
paste it here.

Its common to be frustrated learning to write and writing code, but if
you want help you have to show something for others to help you with

That isn't a productive way to get assistance.   It is true that
people here are often very knowledgeable to help with python problems,
but as a rule,  doing someone's homework isn't something people like
to do.

On to your problem.  You should understand lists and sets, and for
loops.  Try some code and come back with what you have.  Then you will
get help to go further

For your problem consider a set.

For the python syntax consider the py3 tutorial.

the 1st step is to stay awake in class & listen to your instructor, then 
try to apply the principle involved

We don't do homework for you

when you have produced a program of you own (not necessarily working) if 
you post it here then we will be more than happy to provide constructive
