Question

Write a function called word_length() that does not take any input parameter and returns
a 2-D list of length 10. This function repeatedly asks the user to enter words until they enter
the word "stop". Every unique word of length k, where 0 ≤ k ≤ 9, that the user enters should
be stored in the k'th element of the 2-D list. Words that have a length greater than 9 will be
ignored.
Sample run:
>>> the_list = user_words()
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: a
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: $
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: a
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: bbbb
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: ccc
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: dd
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: zzzzzzzzz
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: dd
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: efghi
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: abcdefghijk
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: $e#%^
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: *******
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit:
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: bbbb
Enter a string, enter 'stop!' to quit: stop!
>>> print(the_list)
[[''], ['a', '$'], ['dd'], ['ccc'], ['bbbb'], ['efghi', '$e#%^'],
[], ['*******'], [], ['zzzzzzzzz']]
Note, both ‘a’ and ‘dd’ have been entered twice, only one copy of each is stored. The
input ‘abcdefghijk’ has more than 10 characters so it was not stored. Other than this,
the_list[0] contains a string (‘’) of length 0
the_list[1] contains all strings ('a', '$') of length 1
the_list[2] contains all strings ('dd') of length 2 and so on.
