ring'.

We can define a word as a group of characters without a space between them. To find the words of the input string , w can use split(delimiter) which returns a list of strings which had the defined delimiter between them in the input string.

def countWords(string):
words = string.split(" ")
count = len(words)
return count

Here we set the delimiter as the space character, and returned the length of the words list. I split each step into its own line for readability, however the function could be one line:

return len(string.split())

Here, no delimiter is specified. If one isn't given, it will default to split at any whitespace, including space.

Write a lottery program that will ask the user if they would like to pick 5 numbers (1-30) or if they would like to choose EZ Pi
Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python and creates arrays for the user's numbers and the next chance numbers, it also creates a cost variable and a did_you_win variable. The function takes in the winning numbers as an array parameter. It asks all the necessary questions to generate data for all the variables and then compares the user's numbers to the winning numbers in order to detect if the user has won. Finally, it prints all the necessary information.

import random

def lottery(winning_numbers):

   user_numbers = []

   next_chance_drawing = []

   cost = 0

   did_you_win = "No"

   #print("Would you like to choose your own 5 numbers? Y or N")

   answer = input("Would you like to choose your own 5 numbers? Y or N: ")

   if answer.capitalize() == "Y":

       for x in range(5):

           user_numbers.append(input("Enter number " + str(x+1) + ": "))

   else:

       for x in range(5):

           user_numbers.append(random.randint(0,31))

           cost += 1

   next_chance = input("Would you like to enter a Next Chance drawing for $1.00? Y or N: ")

   if next_chance.capitalize() == "Y":

       for x in range(4):

           next_chance_drawing.append(random.randint(0, 31))

           cost += 1

           

   if user_numbers == winning_numbers or next_chance_drawing == winning_numbers:

       did_you_win = "Yes"

   print("User Numbers: " + str(user_numbers))

   print("Next Chance Numbers: " + str(next_chance_drawing))

   print("Cost: $" + str(cost))

   print("Did you win: " + did_you_win)

In JAVA, answer the following:
erica [24]

Answer:

The JAVA program is as follows.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Program

{

   static int n;

public static void main(String[] args) {

    //scanner object

    Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in);

    //loop executes till number entered is in the range of 1 to 10

    do

    {

        System.out.print("Enter any number: ");

        n = stdin.nextInt();

    }while(n<1 || n>10);

    System.out.println("Number is valid. Exiting...");

}

}

OUTPUT

Enter any number: 0

Enter any number: 23

Enter any number: 10

Number is valid. Exiting...

Explanation:

The program is explained.

1. The integer variable, n, is declared static since the variable should be accessible inside main() which is static.

2. An object of Scanner, stdin, is created inside main().

3. Inside do-while loop, the user is asked input any value for n.

4. The loop continues till user inputs a number which is not in the given range, beginning from 1 to 10.

5. The loop will not be terminated till the user enters a valid input.

6. Once a valid input is entered, the message is displayed to the console and the program ends.

7. The variable, n, is declared at the class level and is a class variable. Class variables are declared inside the class but outside all the methods in that class.

8. Since JAVA is a purely object-oriented language, all the code is written inside class.

9. The object of class is not created since only one class is included in the program. If more than one class is included, then the object of the class which does not has the main() method will be created inside main().

10. User input for integer is taken via scanner object and using nextInt() method.

11. The methods, print() and println() display the messages to the console. The only difference is that println() inserts a new line after displaying the message.

12. The name of the class having main() and the name of the program should be the same.
