Good 👍, I have also create a program to find out the words, vowel, character and space count in a sentence.

Thanks useful thing.

Whats that character b4 i in the last line

Would this work with a txt document that's in a browser? Like just read a URL that has the text laied out the same as a text document.

holy shit this is a very fucking informative video
I learned some very useful things. Thanks a lot.

why num_lines += 1

you are typing away with out explanation in most lines. NOT COOL ! it does not help.

music name please!

hello sir,
please make video with audio so we can get better explaination of program,,only seeing codes means that we get it from goolge search also.

I can't read your code. Can you paste the text file?

I muted the video and played Dreamscape by 009 Sound System for nostalgia's sake

I have noticed that some people in the comments section who are copying the video type () instead of ( ). There is a difference and this may be why it is not working properly. The space in between the parentheses tell the program to look for all spaces. This is important because the computer recognizes words by the spaces in between them.

could you comment the code as text please so I can copy and paste it

help! 1 how do you solve this problem?
1. (70 points) In a university, students are categorized into four categories. A category of the following table:

Pension category
PENSION CATEGORY
A $ 550
B $ 500
C $ 460
D $ 400

Every six months, the university makes reductions in the pensions of its students to
Starting from the second cycle based on the average according to the following table:
Discount
AVERAGE% DISCOUNT
0 to 3.99 No discount
4 to 7.99 10%
8 to 10 15%

Design a program that determines and shows how much a student will receive a discount on their current pension and their next ancestry.

how to count num
of files in a folder?

its great you can type that fast, but you should really slow down the video. Anyone looking at this with minimal experience in python would have to pause repeatedly to keep up

what is the "with" function???

how about blank lines if it have alot?

Better than Idle?

Which text editor are you using there? It looks nice to use...

Don't know how active you are now, but I got it to count the amount of words I have. But how do i get it to exclude counting symbols as words? Example, it counts ' - ' and ' -- ' as words.

Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of count lines on my blog at edwinreviews. com/count-lines-review/ Thanks, Calvin.

def main():
fname = input("Enter filename: ")
infile=open(fname)

numLines = numWords = numChars = 0

for line in infile:
words = line.split()
numLines += 1 - line.count(' ')
numWords += len(words)
numChars += len(line) - line.count(' ')
print("Lines: ", numLines)
print("Words: ", numWords)
print("Characters: ", numChars)


main()

So I've got everything working with what I have above but one of the requirements is to count characters excluding spaces (same for blank lines, but that's working) but for some reason the character count is higher than the number of characters in my .txt file.
File:
black

blue green
pink

yellow orange

1234
4321

It is giving me a count of 46, even though there's clearly less than that...any help would be great!

I have what you have but am getting an output of just 0, even though I have a significant amount of characters (trying just characters first)...any help? I've never seen the += before, is that the same as another operation?

The video was extremely fast but thanks. :)

cool thx ;)
