Trying to solve average word length in python data structure

Question

I can't seem to find what is wrong with my code

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))

Answer 1

Thanks

Answer 2

from math import ceil

txt = input().split()
not_char = [".",",","?"]
num_char = 0

for word in txt:
for char in word:
if char in not_char:
continue
num_char += 1

avg = num_char / len(txt)

print (ceil(avg))

Answer 3

Thanks

Answer 4

Here's the fixed code!

What's gone wrong with your code ?

These two lines :

words = float(len(re.sub('\W+',' ',string).split()))
#do not require split method here

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

# need \w+ rather than \W+

Also , no need to typecast len as it will always give you integral values.

And do not have to worry about floating point division .
4/5 =.2 in python (already getting a float value )

Answer 5

string = input()
lis = string.split()
length = 0
for i in lis:
length += len(i)
print(round(length/len(lis)))

What's wrong with my code
I can't pass two test case
Anyone help me please?
