Question on Joining of list

[SUBHABRATA]

Dear Group,
I am trying the following code line:
def try2(n):
a1=raw_input("P RINT A STRING:")
a2=a1.split()
a3="God Godess Heaven Sky"
for x in a2:
a4=a3.find(x)
if a4>-1:
a5=a3[a4]
print a5
elif a4<0:
a6=x
print "It is not found"
print a6
else:
print "Error"
s=a5+" "+a6
print s

Here, if I put a string like:
Petrol Helium Heaven Sky
In s it is giving me S Helium
But I am looking for an output of a5 and a6 concatenating all its
values not the last ones. Can you suggest me any help? Am I missing
any minor point?
Best Regards,
Subhabrata.

Remember C, where i, j,
k are indices, p, q, r are pointers, s, t are strings and x, y, z are
integers.

Only by convention (even-K&R-v1 C required explicit declarations
almost everywhere), and x etc being used for integers is news to
me ... perhaps you were thinking of m and n.

The only language I remember that had implicit typing was FORTRAN (GOD
is real, but JESUS is an integer).

Yes, I meant by convention.

x is the first name that comes to mind when declaring an unimportant
int. Perhaps it's just me.

Hadn't seen that one before -- maybe because I learned FORTRAN IV at a
college in the middle of west Michigan; I think half the population was
one step away from turning Amish <G>

I learned it by the word: Indian -- implicit integers began at I, and
ended with N.

You could've just used the first 2 letters of 'integer'! :-)

Thanx Terry it worked, I was thinking if input_string could be
searched from given_string and replaced in the input_string but your
one is smarter.
And Peter, thanx for trying to teach conventions. But if I write
explicit comments, and carry on using my own variables( I can use
anything as they are variables:-) ) according to my own ease isn't
that good?
Best Regards,
Subhabrata.
