Answer 10

Mahesh Kantariya What a shorty code? Importance of libraries. Thanks for the answer.

Answer 11

import math

sent=input().replace("?","")
sent= sent.replace("!","")
sent= sent.replace(":","")
sent= sent.replace("-","")
sent=sent.replace("_","")
words= sent.split()
avg= sum(len(word) for word in words) / len(words)
print (math.ceil(avg))

Try this one
ceil() will apply smallest integer function on the result.
This function will give smallest integer larger than the argument(a float)
