here's code class, i'm suppose use loop count number of times character used, told each character instead of line, mean? besides basic string line, have no clue of time, i'm online , can never understand teacher means of thetime. code creation have had trouble character counting, please help!
"""def main(): try: uppercase = 0 lowercase = 0 digits = 0 whitespace = 0 string_input = open('text.txt', 'r') character_strings = string_input.readlines() in range(len(character_strings)): character_strings[i] = character_strings[i].rstrip("\n") uppercase = uppercase_counter(character_strings) lowercase = lowercase_counter(character_strings) digits = digit_counter(character_strings) count1 = 0 count2 = 0 count3 = 0 ch in string: if ch.isupper(): count1 = count1 + 1 return count1 print(count1) ch in string: if ch.islower(): count2 = count2 + 1 return count2 print(count2) ch in string: if ch.isdigit(): count3 = count3 + 1 return count3 print(count3) except ioerror: print("the file not found") except indexerror: print("there indexing error") except: print("an error occurred") main() """ thank you! need help.
firstly, never use tabs in python. use 4-spaces indent, it's common practice. it's convenient when such simple things same way, helps understand else's code.
what telling you:
character_strings = string_input.readlines() this line reads text string_input file, splits newline symbol , returns list of lines. can see, there no need care lines, can read whole text single long string
string = string_input.read() so should pass string _counters have.
uppercase = uppercase_counter(string) and on.
about doing same loops, need iterate on symbols of string
for symbol in string: if symbol.isupper(): count1 = count1 + 1 same islower , isdigit
(naming variables something1, something2 , something3 bad practice. perhaps should think of better names.)
p. s. forgot close file. insert string_input.close() before first except. it's recommended close file when done it.
