Question

Use Python language to :

1.Assign to a variable in your program a triple-quoted string that contains a paragraph of text — a poem, a speech, a nursery rhyme, etc. Write a function which removes all punctuation from the string and counts the number of words in your text. Print the original text without punctuation and a count of the number of words. Include as punctuation at least commas, periods, semicolons, and exclamation marks. Do not use any built-in functions on this

2. Write a function that counts the number of times that a substring occurs in a given string. Let the user run this as long as they would like.  Do not use any built-in functions on this

Explanation / Answer

input_string = ''

def count_remove_punchuation():
   count = 0
   punchuation = [',',';',':','!','.']
   final_string = ''
   for i in input_string:
       if i not in punchuation:
           final_string+=i
           if i == " ":  
               count+=1

   print "string without punchutaiton:", final_string
   print "count of words in final string:",count+1

def count_substring():
   while (1):
       print "enter the substring"
       input_substring = raw_input()
       len_substring = len(input_substring)
       count = 0
       for i in range(0, len(input_string)):
           if input_string[i:i+len_substring] == input_substring:
               count+=1
       print "occurence count", count
       print "type e to exit/enter to continue"
       char = raw_input()
       if char == 'e':
           break
       else:
           continue

print "enter the string"
input_string = raw_input()

count_remove_punchuation()
count_substring()
