Question

this time I have more code to add to the problem. Our TA wants us to write a function and then print the total number of words in the string, were each word is a group of characters seperated by a space, print the number of <B> tags, and print the number of hyperlinks.

The sample input is:

#statHTML("<B> Article One </B> <a href=http://news.google.com>News</a>")

BUT he wants us to ONLY use WHILE loops. I have finished it but only with FOR loops. Please assist as I cannot get it and even my friends are stuck

This is the code that I have so far.

str1T = len(str1.split())
print (str1T_strat_two)
str_t=str1.count('<B>')
print (str_t)
total = len(str1.split('<B>')) - 1
print (total)
print (str1.count('href'))

Answer 1

Here is a guide to get you going.

string = "Article One News"
words = string.split()

i = 0
while i < len(words):
    word = words[i]
    # Do whatever you want with this word
    i += 1

You can put whatever code you need in place of the comment.
