Number of characters without spaces in a file

Hello,

Or you can simply do it like this:

nb_spaces = line.count(' ') nb_car += (len(line) - nb_spaces)

Hello

You need to clarify what you mean by space, because in Python a.isspace() returns True if a is a space, a tab, or a newline.

If you want to ignore all characters that fall into this category:

def count_non_space_chars(s: str) -> int: return sum( 1 for a in s if not a.isspace() )

If you only want to ignore the character ' ':

def count_non_space_chars(s: str) -> int: return sum( 1 for a in s if a != ' ' )

Once this choice is made, to use the function on a file, say /etc/motd:

filename = "/etc/motd" with open(filename, "r") as f: print(count_non_space_chars(f.read()))

Good luck

Hello,

Instead of posting an image, it's better to display your code here

Visually, it should look like this:

for k in range(10): print(k)

Aside from that, there is a Python method applicable to strings that allows you to count the occurrences

of a given character (here the space, that is)

And then, we do this:

nb_car += (len(line) - nb_spaces_in_the_line)

with open("devoirnsi.txt","r") as fic: nb_mot=0 nb_car=0 nb_ligne=0 nb_space=0 nb_voy=0 nb_cons=0 contenu=[] for ligne in fic: nb_ligne+=1 contenu+=ligne.split() nb_car+=len(ligne) print("The number of lines in this text is:", nb_ligne) print("The number of characters in this text is:", nb_car-nb_space) print("The number of words in this text is:", len(contenu)) print("The number of vowels in this text is:", nb_voy) print("The number of consonants in this text is:", nb_cons)
