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):

           statement2 = statement2

       else:

           statement2 = statement2 + inputStr[i]

the major difference between the two is the objective and the reward of the game. candy crush has a puzzle theme with the objective of meeting a specific quota of points or objects, you are able to gain access to the next level and compete with peers on the process. on duolingo the objective is rather different, you are given sets of questions for you to answer for you to move to the next level and as for the reward, you are able to learn available language as this is an app developed to teach the user about other languages.
