Python program to extract words with more than five letters

Last update on December 21 2024 07:30:07 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program that creates a list of words and use the filter function to extract words that contain more than five letters.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a list of words
words = ["Red", "Green", "Orange", "White", "Black", "Pink", "Yellow"]
print("List of words:")
print(words)
# Define a function to check if a word has more than five letters
def has_more_than_five_letters(word):
    return len(word) > 5

# Use the filter function to extract words with more than five letters
long_words = list(filter(has_more_than_five_letters, words))
print("\nExtract words with more than five letters:")
# Print the extracted long words
print(long_words)

Explanation:

In the exercise above -

• First, we define a list called 'words' containing words as strings.
• Define a function called "has_more_than_five_letters()" that checks if a word has more than five letters by comparing its length to 5.
• Use the filter function to filter out words from the words list based on the condition defined by the "has_more_than_five_letters()" function.
• Finally, the filtered words with more than five letters are converted to a list, and we print the extracted long words.

Sample Output:

List of words:
['Red', 'Green', 'Orange', 'White', 'Black', 'Pink', 'Yellow']

Extract words with more than five letters:
['Orange', 'Yellow']
