Hi Don
I'm a beginner in Python Programming.
I'm using python 3. I wrote a program that checks whether given two words
are reverse pair or not and outputs TRUE/FALSE.
*def reverse_pair(a,b):*
* return list(a)==list(reversed(list(b)))*
*
*
*
*
But how to write a program that finds all the reverse pairs in the given
word list, eg: how to find the reverse pair words in a list of 20 words.
And that to how to access those list of words form a URL.
Because with the above code we can only find out whether the given 2 words
are reverse pair or not, that's it.
I'm thinking of using the below code which is written for Python 2.7.
Code:
def reverse_pair(word_list, word):
"""Checks whether a reversed word appears in word_list.
word_list: list of strings
word: string
"""
rev_word = word[::-1]
return in_bisect(word_list, rev_word)
if __name__ == '__main__':
word_list = make_word_list()
for word in word_list:
if reverse_pair(word_list, word): print word, word[::-1]
