Python || Count The Total Number Of Characters, Vowels, & UPPERCASE Letters Contained In A Sentence Using A ‘For Loop’

May 30, 2013 admin No comments

Here is a simple program, which demonstrates more practice using the input/output mechanisms which are available in Python.

This program will prompt the user to enter a sentence, and then display the total number of uppercase letters, vowels and characters contained within that sentence. This program is very similar to an earlier project, this time, utilizing a for loop.





		
		
			Count Characters, Vowels, & UPPERCASE Letters
			
Python
			
			def main():
    # declare variables
    numUpperCase = 0
    numVowel = 0
    numChars = 0
    sentence = ""
    
    # get data from user
    sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")
    
    # use a for loop, iterating over each item in the sentence
    for character in sentence:        
        # do nothing, we dont care about whitespace
        if(character == ' '):            
            continue
                    
        # check to see if entered data is UPPERCASE
        if((character >= 'A') and (character <= 'Z')):
            numUpperCase += 1 # increment total number of uppercase by one
         
        # check to see if entered data is a vowel
        if((character == 'a')or(character == 'A')or(character == 'e')or
           (character == 'E')or(character == 'i')or(character == 'I')or
           (character == 'o')or(character == 'O')or(character == 'u')or
           (character == 'U')or(character == 'y')or(character == 'Y')):
               numVowel += 1 # increment Total number of vowels by one
            
        numChars += 1 # increment total number of chars being read  

    # display data
    print("nTotal number of UPPERCASE letters: t%d" %(numUpperCase))
    print("Total number of vowels: tt%d" %(numVowel))
    print("Total number of characters: tt%d" %(numChars))

QUICK NOTES:
The highlighted portions are areas of interest.

Notice line 12 contains the for loop declaration. Note that each statement within the for loop block must be uniformly indented, otherwise the code will fail to compile.

Once compiling the above code, you should receive this as your output

Enter a sentence: My Programming Notes Is Awesome.
Total number of UPPERCASE letters: 5 Total number of vowels: 11 Total number of characters: 28

C++ || Printing Various Patterns Using Nested Loops

April 05, 2012 admin 1 Comment

This page will demonstrate various programs which illustrates the use of nested loops to print selected patterns to the screen.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE FOR THIS PAGE

While Loops For Loops Using Nested Loops

The following are famous homework assignments which are usually presented in an entry level programming course.

There are a total of ten (10) different patterns on this page, which is broken up into sections. This page will list:

(4) methods of printing a triangle (4) methods of printing an upside down triangle (1) method which prints a square (1) method which prints a giant letter 'X'

======= PRINTING A TRIANGLE =======

This program prints a triangle shape to the screen.





		
		
			#1 - Printing A Triangle
			
C++
			
			#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	// declare variables
	int number=0;
	int counter=1;
	
	// get data from user
	cout<<"Enter a number: ";
	cin>>number;
	
	// this is the start of the nested loop.
	// NOTE: many use two nested 'for' loops, but
	// sometimes its nice to switch things up
	while(counter <= number)
	{
		for(int x=0; x < counter; ++x)
		{
			cout<<"* ";
		}
		cout<<endl;
		++counter;
	}
	
	return 0;

using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
	// declare variables
	int number=0;
	int counter=1;
	
	// get data from user
	cout<<"Enter a number: ";
	cin>>number;
	
	// this is the start of the nested loop.
	// NOTE: many use two nested 'for' loops, but
	// sometimes its nice to switch things up
	while(counter <= number)
	{
		for(int x=0; x < counter; ++x)
		{
			cout<<"* ";
		}
		cout<<endl;
		++counter;
	}
	
	return 0;
}// http://programmingnotes.org/

In the above example, the user has a choice of entering the number of rows which will be displayed to the screen

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

Enter a number: 9 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

======= PRINTING A TRIANGLE WITH NUMBERS =======

The following program uses the same concept as above, but this time instead of using stars “*”, numbers will be printed to the screen.





		
		
			#2 - Printing A Triangle With Numbers
			
C++
			
			#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	// declare variables
	int number=0;
	int counter=1;
	int copy=0;
	
	// get data from user
	cout<<"Enter a number: ";
	cin>>number;
	
	// this variable is just a copy
	// of the number that the user just entered
	// which will be used in the nested loop
	copy=number;
	
	// this is the start of the nested loop.
	// NOTE: many use two nested 'for' loops, but
	// sometimes its nice to switch things up
	while(counter <= number)
	{
		for(int x=0; x < counter; ++x)
		{
			cout<<copy<<" ";
		}
		cout<<endl;
		--copy;
		++counter;
	}
	
	return 0;

C++ || Count The Total Number Of Characters, Vowels, & UPPERCASE Letters Contained In A Sentence Using A ‘While Loop’

January 06, 2012 admin No comments

This program will prompt the user to enter a sentence, then upon entering an “exit code,” will display the total number of uppercase letters, vowels and characters contained within that sentence. This program is very similar to an earlier project, this time, utalizing a while loop, the setw and setfill functions.





		
		
			EnterASentence.cpp
			
C++
			
			#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	// declare variables
	int	numUpperCase = 0;
	int	numVowel = 0;
	int	numChars = 0;
	char	character = ' ';


	cout << "Enter a sentence: ";

	// Get sentence from user utilizing while loop
	while(cin >> character && character != '.')
	{
		// Checks to see if inputted data is UPPERCASE
		if ((character >= 'A')&&(character <= 'Z'))
		{
			++numUpperCase; // Increments Total number of uppercase by one
		}  
		// Checks to see if inputted data is a vowel
		if ((character == 'a')||(character == 'A')||(character == 'e')||
			(character == 'E')||(character == 'i')||(character == 'I')||
			(character == 'o')||(character == 'O')||(character == 'u')||
			(character == 'U')||(character == 'y')||(character == 'Y'))
		{
			++numVowel; // Increments Total number of vowels by one
		}
		
		 ++numChars;  // Increments Total number of chars by one
	} // end loop

	// display data using setw and setfill
	cout << setfill('.');  // This will fill any excess white space with period within the program
	cout <<left<<setw(36)<<"ntTotal number of upper case letters:"<<right<<setw(10)
		<<numUpperCase<<endl;
	cout <<left<<setw(36)<<"tTotal number of vowels:"<<right<<setw(10)
		<<numVowel<<endl;
	cout <<left<<setw(36)<<"tTotal number of characters:"<<right<<setw(10)
		<<numChars<<endl;

	return 0;

QUICK NOTES:
The highlighted portions are areas of interest.

In order to use the setfill and setw functions, remember to #include iomanip, as noted on line 2.

Notice line 17 contains the while loop declaration. The loop will continually ask the user to input data, and will not stop doing so until the user enters an exit character, and the defined exit character in this program is a period (“.”). So, the program will not stop asking the user to enter data until they enter a period.

Once compiling the above code, you should receive this as your output

Enter a sentence: My Programming Notes Is Awesome.
Total number of upper case letters:.........5 Total number of vowels:....................11 Total number of characters:................27
