Consider the following program that counts the number of spaces in a user-supplied string. Modify the program to define and use a function, countSpaces, instead. def main() :   userInput = input("Enter a string: ")   spaces = 0   for char in userInput :      if char == " " :         spaces = spaces + 1   print(spaces)   main()
What is the python code for the  function def readFloat(prompt) that displays the prompt string, followed by a space, reads a floating-point number in, and returns it. Here is a typical usage:                    salary = readFloat("Please enter your salary:")                    percentageRaise = readFloat("What percentage raise would you like?")
assume python does not define count method that can be applied to a string to determine the number of occurances of a character within a string. Implement the function numChars that takes a string and a character as arguments and determined and returns how many occurances of the given character occur withing the given string
