Question

Write a function named lengthDict with the following specifications:

Input (parameters): t, a string
Return: a dictionary in which each key is the length of a word in t and the corresponding value is the number of words in t with that length.

For example, the following would be correct output.
text = "it is what it is"
print(lengthDict(text)) {2: 4, 4: 1}

Answer 1

def lengthDict(t):
    res = {}
    for x in t.split(" "):
        if not res.get(len(x)):
            res[len(x)] = 1
        else:
            res[len(x)] += 1
    return res

#Testing
text = "it is what it is"
print(lengthDict(text))

{2: 4, 4: 1}
