Printing all anagrams of a given string from a text file
0
I'm writing a program which takes the input string and prints out all anagrams of the string, from a text file, in a list.
So far, I've got the following; but nothing is returned and I don't quite understand why.
def anagrams( s1, s2 ):
s1_list = list(s1.lower())
s1_list.sort()
s2_list = list(s2.lower())
s2_list.sort()
if s1.lower() == s2.lower():
return(False)
elif s1_list == s2_list:
return(True)
else:
return(False)
def find_all_anagrams( string ):
anagrams_list =
with open("english_words.txt", "r") as fileObject:
line = fileObject.readline()
if anagrams(string, line):
anagrams_list.append(line)
return anagrams_list
python anagram

find_all_anagramsisn't returning anything right now. Try addingreturn anagrams_listat the end

@boonwj aah yes. forgot to add that, but upon adding that nothing seems to be in the list and I can't quite figure out why. The list is empty with no found anagrams

So now that's a different problem :P Your code seems to only be reading the first line inenglish_words.txt. Are you only comparing your input string with 1 word in the file?

You need to iterate through all the words (I'm assuming one per line) in english_words.txt. You also need strip any newline characters from each word before you call anagrams().
def find_all_anagrams( string ):
anagrams_list =
with open("english_words.txt", "r") as fileObject:
for line in fileObject: # check all lines
word = line.strip() # strip newline characters
if anagrams(string, word):
anagrams_list.append(word)
return anagrams_list # finally return results
