Strings

Open in Code Editor Copy Instructions Submit Solution

For the 3rd monthly challenge, we will look at 2 commonly-tested components in the exam - strings and file handling

The challenge is to take the following words from the dictionary and do some processing on this - examples could include:

• Find the longest word
• Output the count of each letter in the alphabet - what is the most common letter?
• Output the count of each word length - what is the most common word length?
• Output all words that start and end with the same letter
• Find all words whose letters appear in alphabetical order - e.g. "ace", since "a" is before "c" in the alphabet and "c" is before "e"
• Find all palindromes - words that are the same forward and backwards - e.g. "kayak"
• Find all words that contain all 5 vowels
• Find the word which repeats any letter the most - e.g "lullaby" has a count of 3, since "l" is repeated 3 times
• Calculate a word's scrabble score - output all words that score over 20 points
• Output all words that can be made from a given list of letters - e.g. "a", "e", "t" could make "ate", "eat", "tea"

...etc - there are many different examples you can think of

As a target, let's try and have 10 programs submitted by members of the community for others to look at...good luck...and have fun!
