PYTHON Count lines, words and characters in text file

This is an awesome Python exercise on counting. It involves working with text files, counting lines, counting words and counting characters as well. But the coding part will be very simple.

I have noticed that some people in the comments section who are copying the video type () instead of ( ). There is a difference and this may be why it is not working properly. The space in between the parentheses tell the program to look for all spaces. This is important because the computer recognizes words by the spaces in between them.

It might be a REAL GOOD IDEA to post the code

I wish i found this 2 hours ago! thank you!

its great you can type that fast, but you should really slow down the video. Anyone looking at this with minimal experience in python would have to pause repeatedly to keep up

Good 👍, I have also create a program to find out the words, vowel, character and space count in a sentence.

I muted the video and played Dreamscape by 009 Sound System for nostalgia's sake

help! 1 how do you solve this problem?
1. (70 points) In a university, students are categorized into four categories. A category of the following table:

Pension category
PENSION CATEGORY
A $ 550
B $ 500
C $ 460
D $ 400

Every six months, the university makes reductions in the pensions of its students to
Starting from the second cycle based on the average according to the following table:
Discount
AVERAGE% DISCOUNT
0 to 3.99 No discount
4 to 7.99 10%
8 to 10 15%

Design a program that determines and shows how much a student will receive a discount on their current pension and their next ancestry.

Would this work with a txt document that's in a browser? Like just read a URL that has the text laied out the same as a text document.

Don't know how active you are now, but I got it to count the amount of words I have. But how do i get it to exclude counting symbols as words? Example, it counts ' - ' and ' -- ' as words.

if the txt file is residing in a different drive and ur python file is sitting in a different location, how you will mention the txt file? should we give the fully qualified path, say

I can't read your code. Can you paste the text file?

[ColinTheBruce]

I have what you have but am getting an output of just 0, even though I have a significant amount of characters (trying just characters first)...any help? I've never seen the += before, is that the same as another operation?
