In this python program, we will learn how to count words in a string and put it into a dictionary. In this program, we will take the string input from the user and count the words and their frequency and put it into a dictionary as key-value pairs. In this program, we are doing this in two ways. The first way is using a python built-in count(), zip(), dict() and split() functions and the second way is using a count() and split() functions.
Here is the source code of the program to count words in a string and put it into a dictionary.
In this program, we used the split() function to split the string into words and count() is used to count the number of words in a given string and the dict() function is used to create the dictionary and the zip() function is used to make an iterator that aggregates elements from each of the iterables.
# Python Program to Count Words in a String using Dictionary
# Using count(), dist() and zip() function
# Take the input from the user
string = input("Enter any String: ")
words = []
# To Avoid Case-sensitiveness of the string
words = string.lower().split()
frequency = [words.count(i) for i in words]
myDict = dict(zip(words, frequency))
print("Dictionary Items : ", myDict)
Enter any String: The first second was alright, but the second second was tough.
Dictionary Items : {'the': 2, 'first': 1, 'second': 3, 'was': 2, 'alright,': 1, 'but': 1, 'tough.': 1}
In this program, we used the split() function to split the string into word list and use a for loop for iterating the words list and the count() function used to count the frequency of the words in a list.
# Python Program to Count Words in a String using Dictionary
# Using For Loop and count() Function
# Take the Input from the User
string = input("Enter any String: ")
words = []
# To Avoid Case-sensitiveness of the string
words = string.lower().split()
myDict = {}
for key in words:
myDict[key] = words.count(key)
# Print the Input
print("Dictionary Items: ", myDict)
Enter any String: The first second was alright, but the second second was tough.
Dictionary Items: {'the': 2, 'first': 1, 'second': 3, 'was': 2, 'alright,': 1, 'but': 1, 'tough.': 1}
