So I want to create a simple program using the time.monotonic() function to prompt before and after the user has has typed the phrase then give the avg words per minutes along with the total seconds taken to type the phrase.
Phrase: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
I am new to programming so I'll give what code and rough ideas I had below please feel free to correct me. All help is appreciated.
import time
inputText = str(input('Enter the phrase :"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as fast as possible')
t0 = time.time() #start time
t1 = time.time() #stop time
timeTaken = t1 - t0
wordPM = (9/timeTaken)
#print time taken in seconds and avg WPM
Ok so I took the advise of the first poster but when I run the code after entering yes to continue it stops and there are no errors so im not to sure what is wrong.
import time
string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
word_count = len(string.split())
while str(input('Enter "yes" when you are ready')) != 'yes':
str(input('Enter "yes" when you are ready'))
t0 = time.time() #start time
inputText = str(input('Enter the phrase :"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as fast as possible' % string))
t1 = time.time() #stop time
acc = len(set(inputText.split()) & set(string.split()))
acc = acc/word_count
timeTaken = t1 - t0
wordPM = (word_count/timeTaken)
print (wordPM, acc)
import time
string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
word_count = len(string.split())
You can prepare the user with some intro
while str(raw_input('Enter "yes" when you are ready')) <> 'yes':
str(raw_input('Enter "yes" when you are ready'))
Then you start your timer
t0 = time.time() #start time
inputText = str(raw_input('Enter the phrase :"%s" as fast as possible' % string))
t1 = time.time() #stop time
Then you can count the percentage of correctly entered words somehow
acc = len(set(inputText.split()) & set(string.split()))
acc = acc/word_count
timeTaken = t1 - t0
wordPM = (word_count/timeTaken)
print wordPM, acc
