Hello all,
I've been trying to teach myself python from "How to Think Like a
Python Programmer" and have been trying to write a script that checks
'words.txt' for parameters (letters) given. The problem that is the i
can only get results for the exact sequnce of parameter 'letters'.
I'll spare po
Eric,
Thank you for helping.
Is the way I wrote the function inherently wrong? What I wrote
returns the sequence, however I'm trying to make the output match for
the letters in the string entered, not necessarily the string
sequence. For example if I search words.txt with my function for
'uzi'
This is what I'm stuck on. I keep doing things like:
for line in fin:
for ch in letters:
if ch not in line:
I've tried
for ch in letters:
for line in fin:
too..
Should I use a while statement? What's the best way to compare a
group of letters to a line?
> This would be a m
ok.. I finally made something that works.. Please let me know what you
think:
>>> def lines(letters):
fin = open('words.txt')
count = 0
rescount = 0 # count the number of results
results = "" # there are words that contain the letters
for line in fin:
Hello,
Here is my code for a letter frequency counter. It seems bloated to
me and any suggestions of what would be a better way (keep in my mind
I'm a beginner) would be greatly appreciated..
def valsort(x):
res = []
for key, value in x.items():
res.append((value,
That's a great suggestion Arnaud. I'll keep that in mind next time I
post code. Thanks ;)
