Python Exercises: Count lowercase letters in a list of words

Python List: Exercise - 274 with Solution

Write a Python program to count the lowercase letters in a given list of words.

In the Code tab is a function which is meant to return how many uppercase letters there are in a list of various words. Fix the list comprehension so that the code functions normally!.

Sample Data:
(["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White"]) -> 13
(["SQL", "C++", "C"]) -> 0

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

def test(text):
	return sum([el.islower() for word in text for el in word])
text = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White"]
print("Original list of words:", text)
print("Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:")
print(test(text))
text = ["SQL", "C++", "C"]
print("Original list of words:", text)
print("Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:")
print(test(text))

Sample Output:

Original list of words: ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue', 'White']
Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:
13
Original list of words: ['SQL', 'C++', 'C']
Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:
0

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

def test(text):
	return sum(map(str.islower, str(text)))
text = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "White"]
print("Original list of words:", text)
print("Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:")
print(test(text))
text = ["SQL", "C++", "C"]
print("Original list of words:", text)
print("Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:")
print(test(text))

Sample Output:

Original list of words: ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue', 'White']
Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:
13
Original list of words: ['SQL', 'C++', 'C']
Count the lowercase letters in the said list of words:
0
