This solution uses list comprehension.

I got error in this code can you tell me why?

My take on:
Challenge: Create a list called emotions that contains the first word of every line in emotion_words.txt.

file = open("emotion_words.txt", "r")
emotion_words = file.readlines() #read lines
print(emotion_words) #all lines appear
emotions = [] #new list to accumulate first word of every line

for line in emotion_words: #iterate every line separately in sequence
line = line.split() #split the line first to work each one independently
print(line) #first line appears
emotions.append(line[0]) #add the first word from the first line to the list emotions
print(emotions) #the first word appears

print(emotions)

p_words = []
with open('school_prompt.txt','r') as sp:
sp_1 = sp.read().split()
for word in sp_1:
if 'p' in word:
p_words.append(word)
print(p_words)
print("There are {} words that have p.".format(len(p_words)))

does anyone have the txt files? I already took the course and I'm refreshing my memory but I can't find the txt files and I don't want to pay just to have access to the files, it would be much appreciated :)
