Exercício Python #077 - Contando vogais em Tupla
Table of Contents
Introduction
In this tutorial, we will create a Python program that counts the vowels in a tuple of words. This exercise is part of a series designed to enhance your Python programming skills, particularly in handling data structures like tuples and strings.
Step 1: Create a Tuple of Words
Start by defining a tuple that contains several words. Remember, the words should not include any accents.
- Open your Python environment (IDLE, Jupyter Notebook, etc.).
- Define a tuple with words. For example:
words = ('banana', 'abacaxi', 'laranja', 'uva', 'manga')
Step 2: Define a Function to Count Vowels
Next, create a function that will iterate over each word in the tuple and count the vowels.
- Define a function called
count_vowels. - Use a for loop to go through each word.
- Inside the loop, create a list to hold the vowels found in each word.
Here’s an example implementation:
def count_vowels(words)
def count_vowels(words)
vowels = 'aeiou'
for word in words
found_vowels = [letter for letter in word if letter in vowels]
print(f'Vowels in "{word}": {found_vowels}')
Step 3: Call the Function
After defining your function, you need to call it and pass the tuple as an argument.
- Below your function definition, call the function:
count_vowels(words)
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Ensure that the words in your tuple do not contain any special characters or accents, as this exercise specifies.
- Double-check your function for syntax errors, especially in the list comprehension.
Practical Tips
- You can modify the tuple to include different words to test the function with various inputs.
- Consider expanding the function to count the frequency of each vowel if you want to add more complexity.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we created a simple Python program to count vowels in a tuple of words. You learned how to define a tuple, create a function to process the words, and print the vowels for each word. As a next step, try modifying the program to count the frequency of each vowel or include more words in the tuple. Happy coding!
