Answer 1

Following are the program in the Python Programming Language.

# define function.

def return_second_word(sentence):

#remove all the spaces from the sentence

sentence=' '.join(sentence.split())

#the list is split from spaces

my_list = sentence.split(" ")

#return the list

return my_list[1]

#define main function

def main():

#get input from the user

se = input("Enter the sentence: ")

#print and call the function

print(return_second_word(se))

#condition to execute the main function

if __name__ == "__main__":

#call main function

main()

Output:

Enter the sentence: I love python

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we define the function i.e., "return_second_word()" and pass an argument "sentence", inside the function.

• Remove all the spaces from the variable "sentence" and again store in the variable "sentence".
• Set the variable "my_list" that store the split value of the variable "sentence".
• Return the list and close the function.

Finally, we define the main function and inside the main function.

• Get input from the user in the variable "se"
• And pass the variable "se" in the argument list during the calling of the function "return_second_word()".
• Then, print and call the function "return_second_word()".
• Set the if statement to call the main function then, call the main function.
