Question

Write a loop that reads strings from standard input where the string is either "land", "air", or "water". The loop terminates when "xxxxx" (five x characters) is read in. Other strings are ignored. After the loop, your code should print out 3 lines: the first consisting of the string "land:" followed by the number of "land" strings read in, the second consisting of the string "air:" followed by the number of "air" strings read in, and the third consisting of the string "water:" followed by the number of "water" strings read in. Each of these should be printed on a separate line. Use the up or down arrow keys to change the height.

Answer 1

Answer:

count_land = count_air = count_water = 0

while True:

   s = input("Enter a string: ")

   if s == "xxxxx":

       break

   else:

       if s == "land":

           count_land += 1

       elif s == "air":

           count_air += 1

       elif s == "water":

           count_water += 1

print("land: " + str(count_land))

print("air: " + str(count_air))

print("water: " + str(count_water))

Explanation:

*The code is in Python

Initialize the variables

Create a while loop that iterates until a specific condition is met. Inside the loop, ask the user to enter the string. If it is "xxxxx", stop the loop. Otherwise, check if it is "land", "air", or "water". If it is one of the given strings, increment its counter by 1

When the loop is done, print the number of strings entered in the required format
