#rainfall_mi is a string that contains the average number of inches of rainfall in Michigan for every month (in inches) with every month separated by a comma. Write code to compute the number of months that have more than 3 inches of rainfall. Store the result in the variable num_rainy_months. In other words, count the number of items with values > 3.0.

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"
num_rainy_months = 0
months = rainfall_mi.split(",")
print(months)
for month in months:
    month = float(month)
    if month > 3:
        num_rainy_months = num_rainy_months + 1


#The variable sentence stores a string. Write code to determine how many words in sentence start and end with the same letter, including one-letter words. Store the result in the variable same_letter_count.

sentence = "students flock to the arb for a variety of outdoor activities such as jogging and picnicking"
same_letter_count = 0
same_letter_count = sum(w[0] == w[-1] for w in sentence.split())

#Write code to count the number of strings in list items that have the character w in it. Assign that number to the variable acc_num.

#HINT 1: Use the accumulation pattern!

#HINT 2: the in operator checks whether a substring is present in a string.

items = ["whirring", "wow!", "calendar", "wry", "glass", "", "llama","tumultuous","owing"]
acc_num = 0
for item in items:
    if 'w' in item:
        acc_num += 1

#Write code that counts the number of words in sentence that contain either an “a” or an “e”. Store the result in the variable num_a_or_e.

#Note 1: be sure to not double-count words that contain both an a and an e.

#HINT 1: Use the in operator.

#HINT 2: You can either use or or elif.

sentence = "python is a high level general purpose programming language that can be applied to many different classes of problems."
num_a_or_e = 0
words = sentence.split()
for word in words:
    if 'a' in word:
        num_a_or_e +=1
    elif 'e' in word:
        num_a_or_e +=1

#Write code that will count the number of vowels in the sentence s and assign the result to the variable num_vowels. For this problem, vowels are only a, e, i, o, and u. Hint: use the in operator with vowels.
s = "singing in the rain and playing in the rain are two entirely different situations but both can be fun"
vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u']
num_vowels = sum([1 for i in s if i in vowels])
