IntroductionIn this lab, you will learn how to use String methods in Python. ProblemWrite a Python program that counts the number of vowels in a String given by the user. |
|---|
Step 1:
First, we need 3 variables:
- input - holding the user's input
- done - control the while loop
- vowelCount - count the number of vowel
done = False vowelCount = 0
Step 2:
Second, we need get the input using raw_input(prompt).
#get the input from user
input = raw_input("Enter a sentence")
if input != '': Step 3:
Third, we need to check the vowel.
input = input.lower() for char in inputs: #//check if it's a vowel if char == 'a' :
Step 4:
Then we need to use while loop to print the output.
while(!done): (...) #output result print '\nVowel count: %d\nVowel percentage: %d%%' % \ (vowelCount, vowelCount * 100 / leng(input))
After this, we're done. You should now be able write a complete program that counts the number of vowels in a String given by the user.
SolutionCode
def main():
done = False
vowelCount = 0
while(!done):
input = raw_input("Enter a sentence")
if input == '':
done = True
else:
#convert input to lower case
input = input.lower()
for char in inputs:
#//check if it's a vowel
if char == 'a' or char == 'e' or char == 'i' or char == 'o' or char == 'u' :
vowelCount++; #increase vowel count
print '\nVowel count: %d\nVowel percentage: %d%%' % \
(vowelCount, vowelCount * 100 / len(input))
main()
