Hello,
I am a grade 11 high school student and I am having a hard time solving the
problem below. I have been stuck on it for days and I would like some
guidance from you.
The Problem:
Write a function filter_long_words() that takes a list of words and an
integer n and returns the list of words that are longer than n.
What I have written:
def filter_long_words(words, n):
for x in words.split():
return filter(lambda x: len(x) > n, words)
print filter_long_words(raw_input("Enter a list of words with spaces in
between."), raw_input("Enter a number."))
My problem:
Every time i input a list and then the number, it print an empty list.
However , if i replace the raw_inputs with any given list and a number in
the editor, it works and gives me the list of words that are longer than
the number.
Please and thank you for your help.
