#!/usr/bin/env python3 # Challenge 063 # # TASK #1 > Last Word # Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar # Reviewed by: Ryan Thompson # # Define sub last_word($string, $regexp) that returns the last word matching # $regexp found in the given string, or undef if the string does not contain a # word matching $regexp. # # For this challenge, a "word" is defined as any character sequence consisting # of non-whitespace characters (\S) only. That means punctuation and other # symbols are part of the word. # # The $regexp is a regular expression. Take care that the regexp can only match # individual words! See the Examples for one way this can break if you are not # careful. # # Examples # last_word(' hello world', qr/[ea]l/); # 'hello' # last_word("Don't match too much, Chet!", qr/ch.t/i); # 'Chet!' # last_word("spaces in regexp won't match", qr/in re/); # undef # last_word( join(' ', 1..1e6), qr/^(3.*?){3}/); # '399933' import re import unittest def last_word(text, pattern): words = text.split(' ') for word in reversed(words): if re.search(pattern, word, re.IGNORECASE): return word return None class TestLastWord(unittest.TestCase): def test_last_word(self): self.assertEqual(last_word(' hello world', r'[ea]l'), 'hello') self.assertEqual(last_word("Don't match too much, Chet!", r'ch.t'), 'Chet!') self.assertIsNone(last_word("spaces in regexp won't match", r'in re')) self.assertEqual(last_word(' '.join(str(i) for i in range(1, int(1e6) + 1)), r'^(3.*?){3}'), '399933') if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main()
