Hello Everyone,
I pulled it off. Thank you for the direction of the split function, Mark.
[start code]
words_within = sentence.split()
word_count = 0
for i in words_within:
word_count = word_count+1
print "There are", word_count, "words."
[end code]
Haha, Now that I've got my parsing fun over with, I can head back to my
translation. All I need to figure out now is how to apply the code
[start code]
pig_latin = word[1:]+word[0]+"ay"
[end code]
to each word in the string. Any advice on what I should do would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
~Ryan
