graded assigment 1, Q7

[Manashree Tendulkar]

IN Q7 of the graded assignment-1 how can the answer be "total number of sentences with only one verb in it". Cause a verb can be in the middle of a sentence!

[Kishan Jadav]

Let us analyse the given procedure, in step 2 two variables A and B are initialized to 0.

In step 5 variable B is getting incremented if part of speech is “Verb” which means variable B

is counting number of verbs. Conditions in steps 6 and 7 are exactly opposite to each other.

As per the combination of steps 6 and 9 we are counting verbs with variable B until we reach

to a full stop. In other words, we are counting number of verbs in each sentence. As per step 7

if a sentence ends and verb count in variable B is 1 then we are incrementing variable A. Step

8 resets the value of variable B so that the same variable can be used to count number of verbs

in the next sentence. Based on this analysis we can conclude that the variable A gets

incremented only if variable B’s value is 1. Hence, the answer of this question is Total number

of sentences with only one verb in it.
