Question

Word count. A common utility on Unix/Linux systems. This program counts the number of lines, words (strings of characters separated by blanks or new lines), and characters in a file (not including blank spaces between words).

Write your own version of this program. You will need to create a text file with a number of lines/sentences. The program should accept a filename (of your text file) from the user and then print three numbers:

• The count of lines/sentences
• The count of words
• The count of characters
• Do not count blank spaces in the file.
• use payton program

Answer 1

Code:

Output:

filename.txt file:

Raw Code:

filename = input("Enter file name: ") # Taking filename from user.Before running this program make sure that the given
                                   # file is exist in the current directory otherwise it will give an error.
file = open(filename,"r") # opening a file.
lines = file.readlines() # reading lines from file.
lines_count = len(lines) # len(lines) will be the no of lines in a file.
words_count = 0 # initializing variables.
chars_count = 0 # initializing variables.
for line in lines: # iterate through each line in lines.
   words = line.split() # spliting line based on spaces and new lines.
   words_count = words_count + len(words) # the len(words) will be added to words_count
   for word in words: # iterate through each word in words
       chars_count = chars_count + len(word) # adding len(word) to chars_count variable
# print statements.
print("The count of lines/sentences:",lines_count)
print("The count of words:",words_count)
print("The count of characters:",chars_count)
