user.

I wrote a program for the question but I don't know how to fix the error in it. Please help here is my program:

# counter.py
# This program will count the number of words in a sentence given by the user

import string
def counter():
print("This program counts the number of words in a sentence")
print()
p= eval(input("Enter a sentence: "))
words= string.split(p)
wordCount= len(words)
print("The total number of words is:", wordCount)
counter()

Explanation / Answer

import string
def main():
print "This program calculates the number of words in a sentence"
print
p = raw_input("Enter a sentence: ")
words = string.split(p)
wordCount = len(words)
print ("The total word count is:", wordCount)
main()

 

This Program should work fine!!! Cheers!!
