Python: Find all words in a given string with n consonants

Python Programming Puzzles: Exercise-43 with Solution

From vocabulary.com:
A consonant is a speech sound that is not a vowel. It also refers to letters of the alphabet that represent those sounds: Z, B, T, G, and H are all consonants. Consonants are all the non-vowel sounds, or their corresponding letters: A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y are not consonants.

Write a Python program to find all words in a given string with n consonants.

Input: this is our time
Output:
Number of consonants: 3
Words in the said string with 3 consonants:
['this']

Number of consonants: 2
Words in the said string with 2 consonants:
['time']

Number of consonants: 1
Words in the said string with 1 consonants:
['is', 'our']

Pictorial Presentation:

Python: Find all words in a given string with n consonants.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

#License: https://bit.ly/3oLErEI

def test(strs, n):
    return [w for w in strs.split() if sum([c not in "aeiou" for c in w.lower()]) == n]
strs = "this is our time"
print("Original string:",strs)
n = 3
print("Number of consonants:",n)
print("Words in the said string with",n,"consonants:")
print(test(strs, n))
n = 2
print("\nNumber of consonants:",n)
print("Words in the said string with",n,"consonants:")
print(test(strs, n))
n = 1
print("\nNumber of consonants:",n)
print("Words in the said string with",n,"consonants:")
print(test(strs, n))

Sample Output:

Original string: this is our time
Number of consonants: 3
Words in the said string with 3 consonants:
['this']

Number of consonants: 2
Words in the said string with 2 consonants:
['time']

Number of consonants: 1
Words in the said string with 1 consonants:
['is', 'our']

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
