Final answer:
To solve this problem, you need to create a variable to store the given string, convert the string to lowercase, create a list containing every lowercase letter of the English alphabet, create a variable to store the frequency of each letter in the string, iterate through each letter in the given string, and print the letter from the alphabet list if the frequency is not zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to follow the steps given in the question:
- Create a variable to store the given string and assign the value 'you can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.'
- Convert the string to lowercase using the lower() function. This will make the string all lowercase.
- Create a list containing every lowercase letter of the English alphabet using the string.ascii_lowercase attribute from the string module. This will give you a list of all lowercase letters ['a', 'b', 'c', ..., 'z'].
- Create a variable to store the frequency of each letter in the string and assign it an initial value of zero.
- Iterate through each letter in the given string. If the letter is in the alphabet list, increase the value of the frequency variable by one.
- If the value of the frequency variable is not zero, print the letter from the alphabet list followed by a colon and the value of the frequency variable.
Here is the code that implements the steps:
import string
string_var = 'you can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.'
lowercase_string = string_var.lower()
alphabet_list = list(string.ascii_lowercase)
frequency = {}
for letter in lowercase_string:
if letter in alphabet_list:
if letter not in frequency:
frequency[letter] = 1
else:
frequency[letter] += 1
for letter in alphabet_list:
if letter in frequency:
print(letter + ': ' + str(frequency[letter]))
