Question 1

Write a Python program having following functions :

  1. A function with the following signature : remove_letter(sentence, letter)
    This function should take a string and a letter (as a single-character string) as arguments, returning a copy of that string with every instance of the indicated letter removed. For example, remove_letter("Hello there!", "e") should return the string "Hllo thr!".
    Try implementing it using <str>.split() function.
  2. Write a function to do the following :
    Try implementing the capwords() functionality using other functions, i.e., split(), capitalize() and join(). Compare the result with the capwords() function's result.
Solution
def remove_letter(sentence, letter):
    words = sentence.split()  
    new_sentence = []  
    for word in words:
        new_word = ''
        for char in word:
            if char.lower() != letter.lower():  
                new_word += char
        new_sentence.append(new_word)  
    return ' '.join(new_sentence)  

def capwords_custom(sentence):
    words = sentence.split()  
    capitalized_words = []
    for word in words:
       capitalized_word = word.capitalize()
       capitalized_words.append(capitalized_word)
    return ' '.join(capitalized_words)  

sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")
letter = input("Enter a letter: ")
print("After removing letter:", remove_letter(sentence, letter))  

from string import capwords
sentences_input = input("Enter a sentence: ")
sentences = sentences_input.split('.') 

for sentence in sentences:
    sentence = sentence.strip()  
    print("Custom capwords result:", capwords_custom(sentence))
    print("Capwords result from string module:", capwords(sentence))
Output
Enter a sentence: Hello there!
Enter a letter: e
After removing letter: Hllo thr!
Enter a sentence: python is best programming language
Custom capwords result: Python Is Best Programming Language
Capwords result from string module: Python Is Best Programming Language
