Question

Using JES/Jython:

Function Name: noPuns()

Words- list of strings that will be analyzed

Q words can’t be punned, so write a function that takes in a list and tells you how many words are safe from being punned. Should work

regardless of capitalization!

Test Cases:

>>>noPuns(["quail", "bunny","butter","quack","quality"])

There are 3 words that start with Q.

>>> noPuns(["Queen","quota","british","dorito","Quoff","quickly"])

There are 4 words that start with Q.

Answer 1

def noPuns(lst):
    count = 0
    for x in lst:
        if(x[0]=='q' or x[0]=='Q'):
            count += 1
    print("There are "+str(count)+" words that start with Q.")

# Testing
noPuns(["quail", "bunny","butter","quack","quality"])
