What i'm trying to do is writing Program that print the number of newlines,words and characters in counted file by python
I'm lost and i do not how should i do it?
that what i got so far
infilename = input("Enter the name of the file:")
infile = open ( infilename ,'r')
for line in infile:
line = line.split()
print (line)
Jump to PostWhat is a counted file?
Please provide a testcase.For example you can count newlines and characters like this:
infilename = input("Enter the name of the file:") count_newlines=0 count_chars=0 with open (infilename ,'r') as infile: for line in infile: count_newlines+=1 count_chars+=len(line) print(count_newlines) print(count_chars)
Jump to PostYou split the line with space.
count_words+=len(line.split(" "))

thank u
how can i count the bytes in file ?
sorry
how can i count the words in file ?
You split the line with space.
count_words+=len(line.split(" "))
A character usually takes up one byte.
You could also follow this approach ...
infilename = input("Enter the name of the file: ")
with open (infilename ,'r') as infile:
data = infile.read()
count_newlines = data.count('\n')
count_chars = len(data)
count_words = len(data.split())
print("Lines = {}".format(count_newlines))
print("Characters/bytes = {}".format(count_chars))
print("Words = {}".format(count_words))
