Print number of words which are greater than 5 letters in a sentence.

Question

If for eg. a sentence: "This is Sololearn Mobile App".
Output should be "2" ("Sololearn" and "Mobile" have letters greater than 5).

I have tried using List Comprehension in many ways, I ended up getting number of letters in a sentence/word or getting an error.

First, I got atleast length of the word. Now, I am not even getting anything and just ruined up everything. This is really funny to me.
I also have searched in many sites, but I can't find?

The code I did is below; and I lost the understanding of using functions, List comprehension and other coding thing.

text= input("enter").split()
def greater_5(text):
letters= [words[0:] for words in text if str(len(words[0:])>=5)]
return str(len(lett)>=5)
print(greater_5(text))

I know this so wrong and don't know what I am doing?

Answer 1

print(len([w for w in input().split() if len(w) > 5]))

Answer 2

Try this:

text = input("enter").split()
def greater_5(text):
letters = [1 for word in text if len(word)>5]
return sum(letters)

print(greater_5(text))

PS: You can definitely make this shorter.

Answer 3

b = 0
a = input().split(" ")
for i in range(len(a)):
if(len(a[i]) >= 5):
b += 1
print(b)

Answer 4

Prithvi Anna's answer adds a word to the list if its length is greater than 5. Then counts the len of that list and returns that value.

Mine adds a "1" (instead of the word itself) to the list if the length of a word is greater than 5 and then sums all those "1".

Answer 5

Anna I was thinking about:
print(sum(len(w) > 5 for w in input().split()))

But your approach is quite interesting.

Prithvi
1. This isn't the problem but use "words" instead of "words[0:]".

2. "if str(len(words)>=5)" always returns True. Use "if len(words) >= 5".

3. "return str(len(letters)>=5)" doesn't return the length of "letters". Use "return len(letters)".

Thankyou!
And Wow! You did so quickly and I thought "sum" won't work here.
Can you just tell why in
"letters", there's "1" and how come "sum"?

Answer 8

Anna
Your's code is amazing. See, I missed the logic here. I used "str(len(some_variable)>=5)" something like this, totally ruined my idea. But you, yay! Thankyou!

Answer 9

Diego Acero
Why did you took "1" in

letters = [1 for word in text if len(word)>5] and what is it doing?

And also 'sum(letters)'.

Answer 10

Hey, you all really rock with code and made me continue to learn python again. Thankyou all!
Also, can anybody please tell me, what was going wrong in the code I wrote!

Thankyou! Also worth it. I tried somewhat same like you but I used "import count", "counter" which unfortunately didn't worked for me.
Maybe my idea was not good.
I first thought of getting words>=5 and then looked for getting their lengths using "len".
Pfft! Damn it!
