Using split function for multiple data [duplicate]

Question

so for my problem, I have to create a program that takes a users input, and then prints it like a list. For example, if the user inputs "I like doing this activity, the program should return it as.

I
like
doing
this
activity.

But these should work with any scenario that the user inputs.

I tried using the input function and split to try and define the variables

my_list_of_data = input("Enter your sentence:").split()
print("(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s)"%(my_list_of_data))

I am getting an error in line 2, saying there is not enough arguments to create a string.

What's the contents of my_list_of_data when you get this error? — munk

You're passing a single list to the first %s; % formatting special-cases tuples, so try print("(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s),/n(%s)"%tuple(my_list_of_data)). But now you have the problem of extra parentheses and /n not being a newline... — jonrsharpe

Print the list like this:

print('\n'.join(my_list_of_data))
