Python program to Count words, characters and space of a string

Python program to count words, characters and space of a string

In this article, we will discuss the concept of the Python program to Count words, character and Space in a string

In this post, we are going to learn how to count words, character and space of the given String in Python programming language

Count words, character and Space using for loop

The program allows the user to enter a String and then it counts and display the total number of  words, character and Space of the given string using for loop in Python programing language

Program 1

str=raw_input("Enter String") #Python 2,7
char=0
word=1
for i in str:
    char=char+1
    if(i==' '):
        word=word+1
print("Number of words in the given string ",word)
print("Number of characters in the given string ",char)
print("Number of space in the given string ",(word-1))

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Enter String:
Python programming language
Number of words in the given string  3
Number of characters in the given string  27
Number of space in the given string  2

 

Approach

1. Declare a String variable as str;
2. Declare and initialize integer variables as int words=1, characters=0;
   
3. The user asked to enter a string
4. The given string is stored in the variable str;
5. A for-loop is used to count every total of the given string.
6. variable char incremented by 1 inside the for loop
7. Use an if condition to test if(i==’ ‘): If it is true,  The words becomes words + 1(wordss=words+1);
8. Finally, the program displays the total number of the words, character and Space of the given string

 

Program 2

The program allows the user to enter a String and then it counts and display the total number of  words, character and Space of the given string using the built-in function  in Python programing language

wordCount=0#Python 3.0
charCount=0

str=input("Enter the string\n")
split_str=str.split()

wordCount=len(split_str)

for word in split_str:

    charCount+=len(word)
print("Total words in the given string ",wordCount)
print("Total characters in the given string ",charCount)
print("Number of space in the given string ",(wordCount-1))

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result

Enter the string
Basic Python language
Total words in the given string 3
Total characters in the given string 19
Number of space in the given
