About
We all love different kinds of books. As we grow up, we are able to digest more difficult texts easier. How to assess the difficulty of a given text? How can you make your program do that? Write a program that determines the difficulty of a text and predicts the grade level needed to understand this text.
Training project
This project allows you to practice and strengthen your coding skills, helping you get ready for more advanced tasks ahead.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
Input a phrase or a sentence for the program to determine the difficulty based on the count of symbols and sentences.
Apply your knowledge of strings and lists. Determine the text difficulty by calculating the average word count in the sentences.
Add a readability score based on a special formula. Estimate the difficulty of larger texts uploaded from a file.
Let's implement more variables into our score formulas — syllables.
Use a comprehensive formula, based on the amount of difficult (rare) words, taken from the corpora.
