Scraping Website: How to Write a Script in Python

Image
Here's a python script that you can use as a model to scrape a website. Python script The below logic uses BeautifulSoup Package for web scraping. import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = 'https://www.example.com' response = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser') # Print the title of the webpage print(soup.title.text) # Print all the links in the webpage for link in soup.find_all('a'):     print(link.get('href')) In this script, we first import the Requests and Beautiful Soup libraries. We then define the URL we want to scrape and use the Requests library to send a GET request to that URL. We then pass the response text to Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML contents of the webpage. We then use Beautiful Soup to extract the title of the webpage and print it to the console. We also use a for loop to find all the links in the webpage and print their href attributes to the console. This is just a basic example, but

How to Count Vowels in Input Quickly

Here you'll know how python counts characters in the input. This is an interview question asked recently.

How to Count Vowels in Input Quickly


How to Count Vowels in Input String


Below is the Interview Question

Vowels = ('aeiou')

You need to check any vowels are present in the input string. Vowels means 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'. The below function checks each character of input and compares it with the Vowels.

3 Steps to Count Vowels in Input


You can achieve this in three steps.

1. Create a function called 'my_vowel' (the name up to you)
2. Use Set & Intersection Method
3. Run the function

1. Created 'my_vowel' Function


#!usr/bin/python
#This function finds vowel counts
#welcome to my function
""" Optional description """
def my_vowel(a):
    vowels=set('aeiou')
    a_1= vowels.intersection(set(a))
# initialized the dictionary
    found = {'a' : 0, 'e' : 0, 'i' : 0, 'o' :, 'u' : 0}
    for indx in a_1:
        if indx in vowels:
            found[indx] += 1
     for k, v sorted(found.items():
        print(k,v)






I used vim editor to create a .py module with the name vowel.py. Below is the actual code.


Logic to count vowels in input


2. Used Set & Intersection Methods

- Set method converts the input string as a set (you aware about this in mathes)

- Intersect method extracts each character and compares it with a Dictionary (that I'have already defined).

- I used the IF condition to work this logic correctly and validate each character.


3. Result

I have imported the .py module to Python3. Then, I have supplied an input string. It is then validated and given the counts.

The result says, in the given string the vowels are like this:
a -> 0
e -> 1
i -> 0
o -> 1
u -> 0

using function counting of vowels


Bottom-line

  • As expected in the result we got counts for matching vowels.
  • It's very tricky and asked in most of the interviews
  • Test your function with various strings and improve your knowledge.
