2) Complete the get_num_of_characters() function, which returns the number of characters in the user's string. We encourage you to use a for loop in this function. (2 pts) (3) Extend the program by calling the get_num_of_characters() function and then output the returned result. (1 pt) (4) Extend the program further by implementing the output_without_whitespace() function. output_without_whitespace() outputs the string's characters except for whitespace (spaces, tabs). Note: A tab is '\t'. Call the output_without_whitespace() function in main(). (2 pts)

Explanation:

Number of characters: 46

String with no whitespace: .

def get_num_of_characters(inputStr):

   count = 0

   for i in range(0,len(inputStr)):

       count = count + 1

def output_without_whitespace(inputStr):

   #statement = statement.strip()

   statement2 = ' '

   for i in range(0,len(inputStr)):

        if(inputStr[i] == ' '):

           statement2 = statement2

       else:

           statement2 = statement2 + inputStr[i]

   inputStr = inputStr.replace(" ", "")

   return statement2

inputStr = input('Enter a sentence or phrase: ')

print('Number of characters:', num)
