Challenge : Syllabification & syllabic decomposition

Question

Using the list of english's most common words as a test sample (here : https://code.sololearn.com/c3Oq0KO017Ca), make a program decomposing any english word in syllabs.

The challenge is : make a function taking a word (ex: masterpiece) and returns the list of the syllables composing this word (here: mas-ter-piece).

Answer 1

This challenge finally seems like an interesting one tbh

Answer 2

@visph I do not code it because I am at college (meaning not a lot of free time)and already have several codes in my to-do list. I'll for sure try this one once the others will be done. Don't expect much from me for now, sorry

Answer 3

Nice one!!

Answer 4

Sounds more like a request than a challenge :P

Some tracks to do it by yourself:

So do code rather than commenting ^^

I'm personnally thinking that's a too much wide topic to be a good challenge... (because I've already have took time in past for try to understand related algoritms and implement/adapt them to french language before finding some already made by others)

Answer 7

what happened with the test sample, I couldn't save it for give a try :)

note: got it 👌
ah, the link in PC isn't caught by link is together parenthesis and comma 😀 link....Ca), but on phone is working well, that's why

Answer 8

Hum. Bravo for being the one doing the challenge but using external api, that half solving it only :-)

Answer 9

hehe, yeha, i was amid of the normal resolution but it turns long so I've ended it with the easiest one 😀

Answer 10

exactly what to do...
can u be more clear

Answer 11

It is still there my friend !

Answer 12

Oh no request. Just a challenge to change versus usual simple challenges.

Answer 13

The challenge is : make a function taking a word (ex: masterpiece) and returns the list of the syllables composing this word (here: mas-ter-piece).

To @visiph 's point do not necessarily aim at the perfection. This problem is simple enough to be doable in some way while, as for many real life cases, you might not end up with a perfect solution.

Answer 14

Please post the half finished one others can start from here and improve it !
