Exciting Challenge: Count Each Letter in a String!
How can we count each letter in a string, excluding spaces?
Are you ready to take on the challenge of counting each letter in a string, excluding spaces?
Solution to Counting Each Letter in a String:
Let's dive into how we can count each letter in a string while excluding spaces:
To solve this problem, we can follow these steps:
- Start by defining a function that takes a string as input. Let's name it "count_letters".
- Initialize an empty dictionary, "letter_count", to keep track of each letter count.
- Iterate through each character in the input string using a loop.
- Check if the character is a letter (using the isalpha() method) and not a space. If it is, convert it to lowercase.
- Verify if the lowercase letter already exists as a key in the "letter_count" dictionary. If yes, increment its value by 1. If no, add it as a new key with the value 1.
- After the loop, return the "letter_count" dictionary.
- Take input from the user, pass it as an argument to the "count_letters" function and store the result in a variable.
- Finally, print out the "result" dictionary.
