Question

Design a python program that asks the user to enter a string. The string will then be displayed back to the user. This is followed by determining the number of alphabetic characters, numeric characters, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, whitespace characters and then displaying them. The user should be given additional chances to enter additional strings, and each time a string is entered, the above process is to be performed. The inputting is to stop, when the user enters "end" as the input string. At that point, total number of alphabetic characters, numeric characters, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, whitespace characters are to be displayed and the program terminated.

An algorithm:

1. Prompt the user to enter a string at the keyboard

2. As long as the string is not "end"

2.1 Display the string, along with an appropriate message

2.2 Examine the current character of the string

2.2.1 If it's alphabetic, update the alphabetic_counter and the total_alphabetic_counter

2.2.2 If it's numeric, update the numeric _counter and the total_numeric_counter

2.2.3 If it's a lower_case letter, update the lower_case _counter and the

total_lower_case_counter

2.2.4 If it's a upper_case letter, update the upper_case _counter and the

total_upper_case_counter

2.2.5 If it's a whitespace character, update the whitespace _counter and the

total_whitespace_counter

2.2.6 Continue from step 2.2 with the next character until done with this string

2.3 Display the alphabetic_counter, numeric _counter, lower_case _counter,

upper_case _counter, and whitespace _counter, each on a separate line,

and each along with an appropriate message

2.4 Prompt the user to enter another string at the keyboard

3. Display the total_alphabetic_counter, total_ numeric _counter,

total_lower_case _counter, total_ upper_case _counter, and total_ whitespace _counter,

each on a separate line, and each along with an appropriate message

4. Stop

=================================================================================

NOTE 1:

The program will process alphabetic, numeric, and whitespace characters only.

NOTE 2:

A sample program run is attached below. It illustrates user's interactions with the program:

=======================================================================
You need to set up a Python solution that is complete and workable.

For your solution to be complete, you must:


Prompt the user for the specific input data asked for within the problem statement
Does the appropriate processing on the entered input data
Provide the output data asked for within the problem statement to the user

For your solution to be workable:
Your solution should be free of any type of errors (syntax, run-time, logic)
You may want to develop an algorithm first, using pseudocode or flowchart
You do NOT need to turn in any algorithm
