Am trying to create a function that takes a filename and it returns a 2-tuple with the number of the non-empty lines in that program, and the sum of the lengths of all those lines. Here is my current program:
def code_metric(file):
with open(file, 'r') as f:
lines = len(list(filter(lambda x: x.strip(), f)))
num_chars = sum(map(lambda l: len(re.sub('\s', '', l)), f))
return(lines, num_chars)
The result I get is get if I do:
if __name__=="__main__":
print(code_metric('cmtest.py'))
is
(3, 0)
when it should be:
(3,85)
Also is there a better way of finding the sum of the length of lines using using the functionals map, filter, and reduce? I did it for the first part but couldn't figure out the second half. AM kinda new to python so any help would be great.
Here is the test file called cmtest.py:
import prompt,math
x = prompt.for_int('Enter x')
print(x,'!=',math.factorial(x),sep='')
First line has 18 characters (including white space)
Second line has 29 characters
Third line has 38 characters
[(1, 18), (1, 29), (1, 38)]
The line count is 85 characters including white spaces. I apologize, I mis-read the problem. The length total for each line should include the whitespaces as well.
