python数组内运算,我如何计算在Python数组里面唯一值？

So I'm trying to make this program that will ask the user for input and store the values in an array / list. Then when a blank line is entered it will tell the user how many of those values are unique. I'm building this for real life reasons and not as a problem set.

enter: happy

enter: rofl

enter: happy

enter: mpg8

enter: Cpp

enter: Cpp

enter:

There are 4 unique words!

My code is as follows:

ipta = raw_input("Word: ") ## asks for input

uniquewords = [] ## creates list

counter = 0

uniquewords.append(ipta)

a = 0 ## loop thingy

while ipta: ## while loop to ask for input and append in list

ipta = raw_input("Word: ")

new_words.append(input1)

counter = counter + 1

for p in uniquewords

and that's about all I've gotten so far. I'm not sure how to count the unique number of words in a list? If someone can post the solution so I can learn from it or atleast show me how it would be great, thanks!

You can use a set to remove duplicates, and then the len function to count the elements in the set:

len(set(new_words))
