[split] Homework help

[JayBand]

Hi Buran

I am having a similar issue to the above.
The below is my code, but my dictionary isn't including the word which has punctuation in at all, I attempted to follow your advice but no success, any more hints?

def myfunction(cadena):
    
    texto=cadena
    x=texto.lower().split()
    Dict={}
    
    for element in x:
        if element.isalpha():
                if element in Dict:
                    Dict[element]+=1
                else:
                    Dict[element]=1
        else:
            element[:-1] 
    return(Dict)
    

print(myfunction("Hola que haces? Por favor respondeme, di hola por lo menos!"))
