Question

In python please, and i need in it in a simple way (Comment the code so i can understand the logic)

Write a function called mostfrequent that takes one string argument containing a
list of words separated by commas (e.g., “apple,banana,apple,pear”, note there
are no spaces). The function must return the word that occurs most frequently in
the input string. You can assume there will be no ties in frequency.
Examples:
mostfrequent(“apple,apple,banana,apple,peach,banana”)  “apple”
mostfrequent(“apple,banana,banana,apple,peach,banana”)  “banana”
mostfrequent(“apple”)  “apple”

done = False
textInput = ""
while(done == False):
nextInput= input()
if nextInput== "EOF":
break
else:
textInput += nextInput

#Prompt the user to select an option from the Text Analyzer Menu.
print("Welcome to the Text Analyzer Menu! Select an option by typing a number"
"\n1. shortest word"
"\n2. longest word"
"\n3. most common word"
"\n4. left-column secret message!"
"\n5. fifth-words secret message!"
"\n6. word count"
"\n7. quit")

#Set option to 0.
option = 0

#Use the 'while' to keep looping until the user types in Option 7.
while option !=7:
option = int(input())

#The error occurs in this specific section of the code.
#If the user selects Option 3,
elif option == 3:
word_counter = {}
for word in textInput.split():
if word in textInput:
word_counter[word] += 1
else:
word_counter[word] = 1

   highest_words = []
   highest_value = 0

   for k,v in word_counter.items():
   # if we find a new value, create a new list,
   # add the entry and update the highest value
   if v > highest_value:
   highest_words = []
   highest_words.append(k)
   highest_value = v
   # else if the value is the same, add it
   elif v == highest_value:
   highest_words.append(k)

print("The word that showed up the most was: ", word)
