Average word length problem

Question

2/5 didnt work

My code

phrase = input()
lista = []
x = 0
suma = 0
average = 0
for i in range(len(phrase)):
if(phrase[i] == " " and x!=1):
lista.append(x)
x = 0
else:
x+=1
if(i == len(phrase)-1):
lista.append(x)

for z in range(len(lista)):
suma += lista[z]
average = suma / len(lista)
if((average % 1) >= 0.5):
print(int(average+0.5))
else:
print(int(average))

Answer 1

If I recall correctly, some phrases end in ellipses and questions marks. They include punctuation of varying length (?? ... !!!!)

Your code considers a word anything that ends with a whitespace. So the sentence “Good to see you!!” counts the word “you” as 5 instead of 3.

Also if i could make two suggestions, try starting your code with:

phrase = input().split(‘ ‘)

This will eliminate the need for that first loop and think about using a regex to help you solve this. Good Luck and feel free to ask me more.

Can someone upvote my question 😂 i need it to badge

Answer 3

n=input()
c=0
k=len(n.split())
for i in n:
if(i.isalpha()):
c=c+1
r=c/k
if(r==c//k):
print(round(r))
else:
print(round(r+1))

Answer 4

SUSHMITA K you forget to remove punctuations

Answer 5

n=input()
c=0
k=len(n.split())
for i in n:
if(i!=" "):
c=c+1
r=c/k
print(round(r))

Answer 6

What is wrong with my code.

Answer 7

I got it no need explanation

Answer 8

import math
string=str(input())
words = string.split()
average = sum(len(wrd) for wrd in words) /len(words)
print(round(average))

What is wrong with my code?
Testcases 2&5 didn't work ...
instead of round if I used math.ceil function it will cause only test case 1 failed.. others are passed.
so pls anyone help me

Answer 9

This is my solution with regular expressions.

import re, math

string = input()

words = float(len(re.sub('\W+',' ',string).split()))

letters = float(len(re.sub('\W+','',string)))

print(math.ceil(letters/words))

viknesh vikky Thank you so much

Answer 11

text = input().strip()

words = text.split()
text = ''.join(words)

wlen,tlen = len(words),len(text)

print(tlen/wlen)

Answer 12

text = input()
count = 0

for i in text:
if i == " ":
continue
else:
count += 1

print(count/len(text.split()))

Answer 13

text = input()
text2 = text.replace(" ", "")
result = len(list(text2))/len(text.split())
print (result)
