Question

Using the "split" string method from the preceding lesson, complete the get_word function to return the {n}th word from a passed sentence. For example, get_word("This is a lesson about lists", 4) should return "lesson", which is the 4th word in this sentence. Hint: remember that list indexes start at 0, not 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Script in Python

a="This is a lesson about lists"

split(a," ")                     ## this splits the string after every " " blank space

def get_word():

          print(a[n])                   ## n is the index value of whatever word you want to print. Just remember that "This" has index value 0, "is" has index value 1 and so on

get_word(a)

Answer 2

Answer:

def get_word(sentence, n):

   words = sentence.split(' ')

   if n > 0 and n < len(words):

       return(words[n - 1])  

       

   return("")
