Question

PYTHON PLEASE Write a function to censor words from a sentence

code:

def censor_words(sentence, list_of_words):
"""
The function takes a sentence and a list of words as input.
The output is the sentence after censoring all the matching words in the sentence.
Censoring is done by replacing each character in the censored word with a * sign.
For example, the sentence "hello yes no", if we censor the word yes, will become
"hello *** no"
Note: do not censor the word if it is part of a larger word.
For example, if the sentence is "no hello no yes noooo no" and the censor word
is no, then the output should be "** hello ** yes noooo **".
"""
pass # write your solution here (do not change the rest of the program)
  

# The program asks the user to enter the list of words to censor and -1 to stop
censor_list = []
while True:
word = input("")
if word=="-1":
break
censor_list.append(word)

# Then, the program asks the user to enter the sentence to censor
sentence = input("")

# we call our function with user input and print the output
print(censor_words(sentence, censor_list))
