Answer 2

These ifs need changing:
if x=='!' or x=='@' or x=='#' or x=='#x27; or x=='%' or x=='&' or x=='*':
if count>=2 and i>=2 and len(p)>=7:

Answer 3

Thank you Lothar and John Wells.

Answer 4

John Doe ,

can you please explain your doubts on using .isdigit() ?

thanks!

Answer 5

John Doe , yes I'm sure that isdigit() works in this scenario ; however, I get your point about using more descriptive variable names. Thank you for the advice. The code works now after making some adjustments and now I understand the places where I went wrong. This has been a learning experience for me.

Answer 6

I forgot about that. Wow! I can't believe I forgot. Thank you so much!

Answer 7

Lothar I was referring to the code in the original question

Answer 8

John Doe ,

ok- now it's clear. thanks for your answer!

Answer 9

Duah Obeng Dennis, this is a place u can learn over 20+ programming languages and u are asking someone to teach u?

Answer 10

Do yourself a favor and use more descriptive variable naming.
„count“: it tells that it counts something, that is good, bit you are counting multiple things. Name it something like special_character_count.

„i“: not very descriptive, it only reveqls that it‘s (probably) an integer. Why not digit_count (if that is what it‘s supposed to do). Are you sure isdigit() does what you think it does?

Answer 11

Wow. So there's a method called isdigit(). Then I get suspicious and look up isalpha(). Bam, there it is.

And because I had known about neither, I had had to make a string for both to search over when I did my PV exercise.

I think an exercise is potentially the equivalent of 3 exercises or more, should you decide to tweak it or use a different approach.

I wish my kind(noobs in degrees) asked more questions like this.

Answer 12

Nothing wrong just the owner of this code is the wrong peroson 😈

Answer 13

I need someone to teach me programming

Answer 14

Duah Obeng Dennis what language do you want to learn?

Answer 15

I think he should start with python

Answer 16

Python is easy
