getting first letters of a string - Unknown_Relic - Nov-12-2019 im new to python and im trying to split a string so it prints the first letter of each word. Below is the error i keep getting line 8, in split_song for letter in songnames.split(" "): AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'split' def access_data(): with open("Songnames.txt", "r") as f: songnames = [line.strip("\n") for line in f] def split_song(songnames): for letter in songnames.split(" "): print(letter[0]) songnames = access_data split_song(songnames) RE: getting first letters of a string - perfringo - Nov-12-2019 There are several things you should take care of: - if you want to call function then you need to use () i.e songnames = access_data() - if function body doesn't return (or yield) anything it returns None (and your function does the latter) So even if you fix your first problem you will run into second. EDIT: if you fix your code you should also reconsider your approach. It's unclear what is you objective - 'first letter of a string' (as in thread name) or 'first letter of each word' in thread itself. |
