Solution Exercise 46: python algorithm that extract all word of given length

Exercise 46

Write a Python program as a function which takes as parameter a string s and which returns the list of all the words contained in s whose length is greater than or equal to 8. Example if s = 'Python is oriented programming language. Python is the most used programming language'. The function returns the words list :

['oriented', 'programming', 'language', 'programming', 'language']

Solution

def selectWords(s):
    # initialize the list we are looking for  
    L = []
    
    # getting the list of word contained in s
    listWords = s.split()
  
    # select all word of length >= 8
    for word in listWords:
        if len(word) >=8:
            L.append(word)
    return L
   
# testing algorithm
s = 'Python is oriented programming language and the most used programming language '

print('List of all word whose lenght is >= 8 is list_word = ' , selectWords(s))
# The output is : 
# List of all word whose lenght is >= 8 is list_word =  ['oriented', 'programming', 'language', 'programming', 'language']
