# Project Goal. Identify the roots of words with common prefixes, # Strip the prefixes from the roots and save the roots in a separate list # Print the roots that remain.# Start writing code here... ####--------------------------PREFIX_CHECK FUNCTION-------------------------------------------------######### #write a function called prefix_check that accepts the list prefixes and the list of word_list # follow the flow chart for the development of this list # return roots_list to the function call for printing. ####----------------------------PROGRAM FLOW---------------------------------------------------------######## sentence = "We should prepopulate the pregame and postgame parties before the postmortem." # use this sentence to test your code prefixes = ['pre','post', 're'] # use the prefixes for this activity #strip any punctuation from the sentence, but leave the spaces--this is so we get words only when we convert it to a list # Change the sentence into a list of words called word_list; remember,there should be no punctuation here--it should # have been removed in the previous step. # Take each word in word_list and check to see if it has any of the roots in it that you iterate over to see if they meet the qualifications below # create a function call prefix check which has two parameters: pre_list and word_list (your function should be at the top of the program) # pre_list contains the values passed from the prefix list and words contains the values passed from word list # print the return value from the function (which will be a list of roots that are from the sentence)
