Solution Exercise 22: python algorithm that extract the first word in given text

Exercise 22

Write a simple program in Python that returns the first word of a given text. Example for the text: T = 'Python is a wonderful programming language', the program must return Python

Solution

def first_word(text):
    # split the text by whitespace
    words = text.split()
    # return the first word
    return words[0]
    
# Example usage
T = 'Python is a wonderful programming language'
print(first_word(t)) # output: 'Python'

In this program:

1. We defines a function called first_word: that takes a single argument, text.
2. The splits() method: is used to convert the text T into a list of words
3. We then returns the first word: in the list (which is at index 0).

The example usage at the bottom of the program demonstrates how to call the function on the given text and print the result.
