Can’t trickshot me!
Task:
Develop a program that analyses a sentence that contains several words without punctuation. When
a word in that sentence is input, the program identifies all of the positions where the word occurs in
the sentence. The system should not be case sensitive: Ask, ask, ASK should be treated as the same
word.
Ive messed around a lot with it but I only have this right now:
sentence = input("Enter a sentence")
print(sentence)
sentence.split()
split = sentence.split()
word = input("Enter a word from your sentence...")
if word in split:
***** print("The word: ",word," is located on",split(pos))
else:
***** print("Error! Word not found in your sentence.")
The ***** is indentation. Idk why it displays asterisk but oh well...
I know theres obvious mistakes like split(pos) and no breaks etc. I'm also supposed to make it on how only characters can be submitted so I need code to say if sentence contains punctuation or numbers...
I haven't made my if else if else statements for the numbers and punctuation but that's no issue really. It's just the splitting and making it display the word position of the word submitted.
