Chapter 11, Problem 12PE

Program Plan Intro

Modified automated censor program

Program plan:

• Define the “illegal()” function,
  • Open the input file name in read mode.
  • Create empty list.
  • Create “for” loop to iterate over all the lines.
    • Assign the value with the removed white spaces.
  • Create “for” loop to iterate over list,
    • Print the list element.
    • Check whether the word is equal to list element.
      • If it is “True”, return “True”.
• Define the “main()” function,
  • Open the input file name in read mode.
  • Open the output file name in write mode.
  • Create “for” loop to iterate over all the lines in a  file,
    • Split the words using “split()” method.
    • Create “for” loop to iterate over all the characters in a word,
      • Check whether the value return from function “illegal()” is “True”,
      • If it is “True”, replace the word with “****”.
        • Join all the words.
        • Print all the lines in output file.
• Call the “main()” function.
