i put a different answer my mistake
Are you answering the same question? Yours seems to be finding the longest word in a string.

I did i mistake i puloaded the wrong question
however in the case of the question that you did i panicked and didnt read the question probably. I thought it was asking me to find an anagram of any word. you did a great job
thank you

Ah ok.
This does the same as your answer:
def find(s):
d = {len(word): word for word in s.lower().split()}
return d[max(d.keys())]Q:
Write a function that accepts a string which contains a particular date from the Gregorian calendar. Your function should return what day of the week it was. Here are a few examples of what the input string(Month Day Year) will look like. However, you should not 'hardcode' your program to work only for these input!
"June 12 2012"
"September 3 1955"
"August 4 1843"
Note that each item (Month Day Year) is separated by one space. For example if the input string is:
"May 5 1992"
Then your function should return the day of the week (string) such as:
"Tuesday"
Algorithm with sample example:
# Assume that input was "May 5 1992"
day (d) = 5 # It is the 5th day
month (m) = 3 # (*** Count starts at March i.e March = 1, April = 2, ... January = 11, February = 12)
century (c) = 19 # the first two characters of the century
year (y) = 92 # Year is 1992 (*** if month is January or february decrease one year)
# Formula and calculation
day of the week (w) = (d + floor(2.6m - 0.2) - 2c + y + floor(y/4) + floor(c/4)) modulo 7
after calculation we get, (w) = 2
Count for the day of the week starts at Sunday, i.e Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, ... Saturday = 6
Since we got 2, May 5 1992 was a Tuesday

Q: Write a function named find_longest_word that receives a string as parameter and returns the longest word in the string. Assume that the input to this function is a string of words consisting of alphabetic characters that are separated by space(s). In case of a tie between some words return the last one that occurs.
find_longest_word = lambda s: sorted(s.split(' '), key=len)[-1]Original post by bigmansouf
Q Write a function named test_for_anagrams that receives two strings as parameters, both of which consist of alphabetic characters and returns True if the two strings are anagrams, False otherwise. Two strings are anagrams if one string can be constructed by rearranging the characters in the other string using all the characters in the original string exactly once. For example, the strings "Orchestra" and "Carthorse" are anagrams because each one can be constructed by rearranging the characters in the other one using all the characters in one of them exactly once. Note that capitalization does not matter here i.e. a lower case character can be considered the same as an upper case character
def test_for_anagrams(first_word, second_word):
return sorted(first_word) == sorted(second_word)Original post by bigmansouf

Q: Write a function that takes a 4 digit integer (from 1000 to 9999 both inclusive) as input argument and returns the integer using words as shown below:
Sample Examples:
if the input integer is 7000 then the function should return the string "seven thousand"
if the input integer is 1008 then the function should return the string "one thousand eight"
if the input integer is 4010 then the function should return the string "four thousand ten"
if the input integer is 1012 then the function should return the string "one thousand twelve"
if the input integer is 4506 then the function should return the string "four thousand five hundred six"
if the input integer is 9900 then the function should return the string "nine thousand nine hundred"
if the input integer is 8880 then the function should return the string "eight thousand eight hundred eighty"
if the input integer is 5432 then the function should return the string "five thousand four hundred thirty two"
Notice that the words in the output strings should all be lower cased and separated by only one space and make sure your words match the following spellings:
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty,
ninety, hundred, thousand

Q:
Write a function named construct_dictionary_from_lists that accepts 3 one dimensional lists and constructs and returns a dictionary as specified below.
The first one dimensional list will have n strings which will be the names of some people.
The second one dimensional list will have n integers which will be the ages that correspond to those people.
The third one dimensional list will have n integers which will be the scores that correspond to those people.
Note that if a person has a score of 60 or higher (score >= 60) that means the person passed, if not the person failed.
Your function should return a dictionary where each key is the name of a person and the value corresponding to that key should be a list containing age, score, 'pass' or 'fail' in the same order as shown in the sample output.
For example, if the function receives the following lists:
(["paul", "saul", "steve", "chimpy"], [28, 59, 22, 5], [59, 85, 55, 60])
then your function should return the dictionary such as:
{'steve': [22, 55, 'fail'], 'saul': [59, 85, 'pass'], 'paul': [28, 59, 'fail'], 'chimpy': [5, 60, 'pass']}

Q: Write a function named one_to_2D which receives an input list and two integers r and c as parameters and returns a new two-dimensional list having r rows and c columns.
Note that if the number of elements in the input list is larger than r*c then ignore the extra elements. If the number of elements in the input list is less than r*c then fill the two dimensional list with the keyword None. For example if your fuction is called as hown below:
one_to_2D([8, 2, 9, 4, 1, 6, 7, 8, 7, 10], 2, 3)

Q: Write a function that accepts a filename as input argument and reads the file and saves each line of the file as an element in a list (without the new line ("\n")character) and returns the list.

Lucas,Turing,22
Alan,Williams,27

Brayden,Huang,22
Oliver,Greek,20
