Scenario You want to write a Python script that takes a string and counts the occurrence of a specified word. Aim Write a script that counts and displays the number of occurrences of a specified word in a given excerpt. The script should request two input values from the user, that is, the excerpt and the word to search for. You can assume that the word will not occur as a substring in other words. Steps for Completion Go to your main.py file. Take in the user input for the sentence and the substring. Next, sanitize and format the input by removing the whitespace and converting it to lowercase. Count the occurrences of the substring. Print the results. Run the script by using the python3 main.py command The output should look like Figure shown below:

Scenario

You want to write a Python script that takes a string and counts the occurrence of a specified word.

Aim

Write a script that counts and displays the number of occurrences of a specified word in a given excerpt. The script should request two input values from the user, that is, the excerpt and the word to search for. You can assume that the word will not occur as a substring in other words.

Steps for Completion

  1. Go to your main.py file.

  2. Take in the user input for the sentence and the substring.

  3. Next, sanitize and format the input by removing the whitespace and converting it to lowercase.

  4. Count the occurrences of the substring.

  5. Print the results.

  6. Run the script by using the python3 main.py command

The output should look like Figure shown below:

> Terminal
X +
workspace $ python3 main.py
Sentence: You cannot end a sentence with because because because is a conjunction.
Word to look for in sentence: because
There are 3 occurrences of 'because' in the sentence.
workspace $ python3 main.py
Sentence: That that is is that that is not is not. Is that it? It is.
Word to look for in sentence: that
There are 5 occurrences of 'that' in the sentence.
workspace $ python3 main.py
Sentence: She said said is said said but I said no said is said said.
Word to look for in sentence: said
There are 8 occurrences of 'said' in the sentence.
