Then I thought letter should be a special word in python.
Why did you think that?
Python has a very specific (and small) set of keywords that have
special meaning - things like for, while and print
But you can call variables pretty much whatever you like and
Python will be happy. In fact the more meaningful the better,
so letter is a very good choice.
Then I now replace letter whith chic and yet the same results
is obtained.
Current letter: p
Current letter: y
chic: p
chic: y
They are not the same results, one says 'letter' and the other
says 'chic', just as you told it to. In every other respect your
code is identical so the output is identical. Python just does
what you tell it to, it is not actually intelligent, it just interprets
the commands you give it.
