Solution Exercise 86: a python algorithm which determines all the words in a given string text

Eercise 86 *

Write an algorithm in Python which determines the set of words that make up a text string s. Example if s = "Python is more power than Java", the algorithm returns the set:

{Python, is, more, power, than, Java}

Solution

# creation of a function which returns all the words that make up a text string s.
def wordSet (s):
     
     # initialize the set of words
     Set = set ({})
    
     # convert the string to a list
     ListWords = s.split ()
     # browse the words in the ListWords list
     for word in ListWords:
          Set.add (word)
     return Set
# Example
s = "Python is more power than Java"
print (wordSet (s))
# output: {'is', 'power', 'Java', 'more', 'Python', 'than'}
