🚀 Day 24 of My 90 Days Python Series – Word Counter Tool

Are you also struggling to keep track of how many words, sentences, or characters your text has? 😩
If yes — this little Python project will save you the headache!

🧠 Why I Built This

Counting words or sentences manually can be boring, and remembering formulas makes it worse.
So, I built a Python Word Counter Tool that does all the work for me — automatically! 💻

It’s simple, runs in the terminal, and is perfect for beginners learning loops, conditionals, and string handling.

✨ What It Can Do

✅ Counts total words in your text
✅ Counts characters (excluding spaces)
✅ Detects sentences based on punctuation
✅ Keeps running until you choose to exit

⚙️ How It Works

Here’s a small example 👇

✨ Welcome to the Word Counter Tool ✨

Enter your text or paragraph:
Python is amazing! It makes programming fun and creative.

📊 Your Text Summary 📊
Words: 8
Characters (without spaces): 48
Sentences: 2

Do you want to analyze another text? (yes/no): no

Thanks for using the Word Counter Tool! 🧡

It’s super easy — no setup, no extra libraries.
Just run, type your text, and get your instant stats!

💡 Concepts Used

Loops (while, for)
Conditional logic (if, else)
String methods:
- split() → separates words
- replace() → removes spaces
- strip() → cleans text
Counting logic for characters and sentences

🧩 Code Overview

Here’s the simplified version of the logic:

while True:
    text = input("Enter your text: ")
    words = text.split()
    word_count = len(words)
    char_count = len(text.replace(" ", ""))
    sentence_count = sum(ch in ".!?" for ch in text)

    print(f"Words: {word_count}")
    print(f"Characters (no spaces): {char_count}")
    print(f"Sentences: {sentence_count}")

    again = input("Do you want to continue? (yes/no): ").lower()
    if again != "yes":
        break

🌟 Final Thoughts

This is Day 24 of my 90 Days Python Series — where I build small, fun, and practical projects every day to strengthen my Python foundation. 🐍

If you’re also learning Python, try this project and see how much text you can analyze!
Remember — building something every day is the best way to learn. 💪

Stay tuned for Day 25 — something even more exciting is coming! 🚀
