Question

python program-

---create a function that returns the longest word inside a list of words

---create a function with two parameters (phrase,wordList) that returns a count of how many words are spelled incorrectly that cannot be found in wordList (a list of words)

for both you can only use these functions --- append, len, str, float, range, strip, split, int.

Answer 1

Python code:

#function which checks for the longest word

def longword(words):

    #initializing length of longest word

    maxlen=0

    #checking each word in list

    for i in words:

        #checking if length of current word is greater than maxlen

        if(len(i)>maxlen):

            #setting current word as longest word

            word=i

            #setting maxlen as length of current word

            maxlen=len(word)

    #returning longest word

    return word

#function which checks for count of word spelled incorrectly

def wordcount(phrase,wordList):

    #initializing count as 0

    count=0

    #checking each word in phrase

    for i in phrase.split():

        #checking if word is in wordList

        if(i not in wordList):

            #incrementing count

            count+=1

    #returning count

    return count

#testing longword function and printing

print(longword(["i","is","are","hi","am"]))

#testing wordcount function and printing

print(wordcount("hi i am rahul",["i","is","are","hi","am"]))

Screenshot:

1 #function which checks for the longest word 2. def longword(words): 3 #initializing Length of Longest word 4 maxlen=0 5 #checking each word in list 6. for i in words: 7 #checking if length of current word is greater than maxlen 8. if(len(i) >maxlen): 9 #setting current word as longest word 10 word=i 11 #setting maxlen as Length of current word 12 maxlen=len(word) 13 #returning Longest word 14 return word 15 #function which checks for count of word spelled incorrectly 16 def wordcount(phrase, wordList): 17 #initializing count as a 18 count=0 19 #checking each word in phrase 20 for i in phrase.split(): 21 #checking if word is in wordList 22 if(i not in wordList): 23 #incrementing count 24 count+=1 25 #returning count 26 return count 27 #testing Longword function and printing 28 print(longword(["i","is", "are", "hi", "am"])) 29 #testing wordcount function and printing 30 print(wordcount("hi i am rahul",["i","is", "are", "hi","am"]))

Output:

are i
