Getting WA...plz help...new to Python

tc = int(input())
while tc > 0:
    a = input()
    b = []
    b = a.split()
    x = -1
    c = 1
    m = 0
    for i in b:
        if x == len(i):
            c = c + 1
        else:
            x = len(i)
            if c > m:
                m = c
                c = 1
    if c > m:
        m = c
    if len(b) == 0:
        m = 0
    print(m)
    tc = tc - 1

some hints:
it is strongly recommended to use spaces (not tabs) to indent python source code
you have to find a way to ignore empty lines in the input (do not output "0"!!!)
your code fails e.g. for this input "a a bbbb a a cc cc". The reason is located within your else block.

Once these issues are resolved, you'll get AC

Thanx a lot for the advice. I'll use spaces instead of tabs next time.

Modified code :-

AC

Input (your test case and a blank line) :-

1
a a bbbb a a cc cc

Output:-

2

What's wrong with this test case and the else part?

[bbone=python3,496]tc = int(input())
while tc > 0:
a = input()
b = []
b = a.split()
x = -1
c = 0
m = 0
for i in b:
if x == len(i):
c = c + 1
else:
x = len(i)
if c > m:
m = c
c = 1
if c > m:
m = c
if len(b) != 0:
print(m)
tc = tc - 1[/bbone]

You should think about the conditions for resetting your counter. The testcase still "works" if you extend it a little.

thank you...i got my mistake

[daft_wullie]

Just to show a bit of Python's strengths (lists / iterators) using the builtin library itertools

import itertools as it
def calc_wcnt(line):
""" calculate the length of the longest sequence of words having the same length"""
    words = line.split()
    wlens = map(len, words)
    swlens = [len(list(g)) for k, g in it.groupby(wlens)]
    return max(swlens)
