python - How should I be able to conisder exclamation mark as different sentence separator beside just full stop -

i practicing test , wrote code seems not consider !mark sentence sperator work if use either.

for sep in (".", "!", "?")     sentences = s.split(sep)     num_of_sentences = len(sentences)     # print num_of_sentences     tempdict = {}     i, sent in  enumerate(sentences):         tempdict[i] =  len(sent.split())     print sentences     return tempdict[max(tempdict.iteritems(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))[0]] 

the objective return maximum number of word out of sentence. print sol2("this one. , two. serious? hi!")

should output 4

your code isn't working because returns after first loop iteration, in return keyword. never run "!".

have considered using regular expressions this?

import re  s = 'this one. , two. serious? hi!'  sentences = re.findall(r'(.*?)[!.?]', s)  # split sentences print(sentences) # ['this one', ' , two', ' serious', ' hi']
