Question

using the python

Write a function oneSpaceAfterPeriod( String Parameter ) that will return a string with one space after every period. Another function twoSpaceAfterPeriod (String Parameter) that will return a string with two spaces after every period.

It is also a common error to forget to capitalize the first word after a period. Write a function to correct this and return the corrected paragraph.

Answer 1

Here are both the functions with a test example. Thank you.

def oneSpaceAfterPeriod(str1):
   str2 = ""
   length = len(str1)-1
   flag = True
   i=0
   j = length

   while(flag):
       if(length==0):
           flag = False
      
       if(str1[i]=="." and i!=j):
           str2+=str1[i]
           str2+=" "
           str2+=str1[i+1].capitalize()
           i+=1
           length=length-1

       else:
           str2+=str1[i]
      
       i+=1
       length=length-1
  
   return str2

def twoSpaceAfterPeriod(str1):
   str2 = ""
   length = len(str1)-1
   flag = True
   i = 0
   j = length

   while(flag):
       if(length == 0):
           flag = False

       if(str1[i]=="." and i!=j):
           str2+= str1[i]
           str2+=" "
           str2+=" "
           str2+=str1[i+1].capitalize()
           i+=1
           length = length-1
      
       else:
           str2+= str1[i]
      
       i+=1
       length= length-1
  
   return str2

text = "There are spaces.there is no space.is there."

val = oneSpaceAfterPeriod(text)
print(val)

val2 = twoSpaceAfterPeriod(text)
print(val2)

So those are the function which could used with text to give the periods and the gap with capatalization.

Thank you.
