Average Word Length problem

Question

I have a problem with the Code Coach challenge for Average Word Length. This is my code, which is working great for 4/5 tests. Not sure where I'm going wrong.

from math import ceil
#split input into list
avg_string_list = input().split()
# list comprehension to get average
avg = sum(len(word) for word in avg_string_list)/ len(avg_string_list)
#round up floats
print(ceil(avg))

Answer 1

From your point, you not need ceil. Just add floor division.

#split input into list
avg_string_list = input().split()
# list comprehension to get average
avg = sum(len(word) for word in avg_string_list)// len(avg_string_list)

if avg == 3:
print (avg)
else:
print (avg+1)

Answer 2

text = input()
z = text.split()
y = len(z)
x = 0
for i in z:
x +=len(i)
print(x/y)

Answer 3

xLord , Curtis Dufour Forget it. got my mistake..Was counting punctuations as a character. Remove punctuations from your input string and it will work fine with *ceil* function. Here is my code:

from math import ceil
import string

essay = str(input())
# Remove punctuations from essay string
essay_new = essay.translate(str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation))
# Split the essay into individual words
words = essay_new.split()

length_each_word = []
for i in range(len(words)):
length_each_word.append(len(words[i]))

total = sum(length_each_word)
average = total/len(length_each_word)
print(ceil(average))

Answer 4

text = input()
a=list(text)
y=a.count(" ")
x = y+1
for i in range(y):
a.remove(" ")
b= len(a)
print (b/x)

Is this easy version or hard version

Answer 5

xLord ,A little help required. My solution to this problem was very similar to Curtis Dufour except that I didn’t use list comprehensions rather used simple for loop. I was also facing the same problem with “ceil” function and used floor division to complete the test. (thanks to you)

However what I don’t get is ....why did you choose < avg == 3 > as the first condition ... Is it because of the explicit test case that was failing or is there any other reason ...Please explain

What if there was a test case wuth avg value = 4 was present. Would this program still hold good«

Answer 6

Thanks! I always forget about floor division and how that works.

Answer 7

Solved :)

Answer 8

I answered by his logic. I know is there a better code

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

Harshit Sharma thanks for the code! I was desperately trying to write a code like this (there are many complicated versions here) but it seems im not ready yet. Could ANYONE explain this code step by step? That would be sooo helpful :)
