Changing words on a sentence to special characters












-1















I am trying to change some words in a sentence to special characters but I don't get the required output. Also i have tried using the replace method which doesn't seen to replace everything but only the first word.



new_sentence = ''

sentence = input('Enter your word:')



for char in sentence:

    if 'the' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '~'

    elif 'as' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '^'

    elif 'and' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '+'

    elif 'that' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '$'

    elif 'must' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '&'

    elif 'Well those' in sentence:

        new_sentence += '% #'

    else:

        new_sentence += sentence 

print(new_sentence)


This is what happens when i run it.

  • Are you sure you did the replace method right?

  • If your sentence contains "The", then only your first conditional will trigger, and the rest won't, but it will still loop over all of the characters in the input string and trigger your first condition for each character

  • First, you're looping through the chars, what seems weird, as it'll loop through each individual letters, so t, h, e, etc... If you'd like to loop through all words, first use sentence.strip() in order to generate a list with all the words, so just use for word in sentence.strip() for having the results you want, @daliseiy

  • You would want sentence.split() not .strip(), but that still would be highly inefficient.

You could store your character modifications in a dictionary and then apply them using replace() in a for loop, like so:



sentence = 'This is the sentence that I will modify with special characters and such'



modifiers = {'the': '~', 'as': '^', 'and': '+', 'that': '$', 'must': '&', 'Well those': '% #'}



for i, v in modifiers.items():

    sentence = sentence.replace(i, v)


Returns:



This is ~ sentence $ I will modify with special characters + such

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
