Question

(7) Implement the shorten_space() function. shorten_space() has a string parameter and updates the string by replacing all sequences of 2 or more spaces with a single space. shorten_space() returns the string. Call shorten_space() in the print_menu() function, and then output the edited string. Hint: Look up and use Python function .isspace().

Ex: Edited text: we'll continue our quest in space. there will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue!

coded in python please

Answer 1

Code:

def shorten_space (input_str): #shorten_space() function
  
output_str=""
  
for i in range (0,len(input_str)): #iterate loop over string
  
if input_str[i].isspace() and input_str[i-1].isspace(): #if the present an previous char is space continue
  
continue;
  
else:
  
output_str=output_str+input_str[i] #else add to output str
  
return output_str #return the output str
  
def print_menu(input_string):
  
output_string=shorten_space(input_string) #call the shorten_space() function
  
print("Edited Text: "+output_string) #print the edited text
  
input_string=input("Enter the some text: ") #asking user to enter the string

print_menu(input_string)
