Dictionary Homework - beepBoop123 - Dec-11-2018
Hi, I keep getting an error that says "str' object has no attribute 'items" on line 3 and I don't understand why. Can someone help me fix the code? Thanks!
def get_inverted_index(words):
tweetDict = {}
wordCount = {}
for tweetKey, tweetText in words.items():
for word in tweetText.lower().split():
wordCount[word]=wordCount.get(word,0)+1
if inverted_index.get(word,False):
if tweetKey not in tweetDict[word]:
tweetDict[word].append(tweetKey)
else:
tweetDict[word] = [tweetKey]
return tweetDict, wordCountgettysburg_address = "Four score and.." print = (get_inverted_index(gettysburg_address))
RE: Dictionary Homework - buran - Dec-11-2018
gettysburg_address is a str, i.e. "Four score and.."
you need to pass dict as argument when call the function, not str
RE: Dictionary Homework - ichabod801 - Dec-11-2018
You are passing a string to the function on line 15. That string is in the variable words in the function. As the error says, strings don't have items. That's an attribute of a dictionary.
Sniped: buran beat me to it.

also, not related to your problem but still bug
print = (get_inverted_index(gettysburg_address))should be
print(get_inverted_index(gettysburg_address))
