How to Create Word Counter Program in Python
In this tutorial, we will create a "How to Create a Word Counter Program in Python". We will cover the basics of creating a program that can count the number of words. The objective is to have a better understanding of how the program is made. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.
This topic is simple and easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you is how to count the number of words. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of creating this program, called "Count Number of Words". So, let's start with the coding.
Getting Started:
First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Creating Main Function
This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console of counting of words. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.- import string
- sample = input("\n\nEnter a string: ")
- print ("\n\nYour string is: " + sample)
- res = sum([i.strip(string.punctuation).isalpha() for i in
- sample.split()])
- print ("The number of words in string are : " + str(res))
In the provided code, we first set a variable for our string data. Then, we use the sum function with a specific argument that can detect the words in the given string. Lastly, we use a for loop to iterate through each word in the paragraph, counting each iteration as a word counter.
