Splitting A String In Python - Saif133 - Jan-13-2017 Implement a function that, given a feedback and the size of the screen, splits the feedback into lines so that:
I have to complete this function by filling up the ... spaces. import ... def feedbackReview(feedback, size): return ...Examples: For feedback = "This is an example feedback"and size = 8the output should be feedbackReview(feedback, size) = ["This is", "an", "example", "feedback"]Thank you. RE: Splitting A String In Python - Kebap - Jan-13-2017 Thanks for posting your homework assignment. Would you like us to solve it for you? RE: Splitting A String In Python - Saif133 - Jan-13-2017 Um..yes? RE: Splitting A String In Python - Mekire - Jan-13-2017 (Jan-13-2017, 02:43 PM)Saif133 Wrote: Um..yes?Kebap used sarcasm. It wasn't very effective. You need to get us started. Show your attempt and tell us what is going wrong. We help with homework. We don't do it for you.

How do I configure length of each split? >>The other thing is, if two words have a joint length less than (size) , they should be stored as a single element,which the .split() function does not do. >>If i just use a list compression, I will have to write a long piece of code that will check for white spaces and then recognize the character behind the whitespaces as single words, check their length, add the next word if it can satisfy the (size) criteria. [feedback[i:i+size] for i in range(0, len(feedback), size)] it will just read individual characters and not words and then store them by size in a list .

Teachers aren't in the habit of asking students to write convoluted one liners. Even if it is, figure out how to do it first; then worry about compressing it. First question is, what modules can you use? If you are allowed to use the textwrap module for instance then I guess you can indeed do it in one line but that is just because someone else wrote it somewhere else.So if the goal of the assignment is to use all tools at your disposal (as one would in real life) look into text wrap. Otherwise, we need to start writing some actual code. https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html RE: Splitting A String In Python - Saif133 - Jan-14-2017 the textwrap.wrap() worked!! Thank you so much |
