Given a string, check if the given string is a pangram or not.
Examples:
Input : The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog Output : The string is a pangram Input : neveropen for neveropen Output : The string is not pangram
A normal way would have been to use frequency table and check if all elements were present or not. But using import ascii_lowercase as asc_lower we import all the lower characters in set and all characters of string in another set. In the function, two sets are formed- one for all lower case letters and one for the letters in the string. The two sets are subtracted and if it is an empty set, the string is a pangram.
Below is Python implementation of the above approach:
Python
# import from string all ascii_lowercase and asc_lowerfrom string import ascii_lowercase as asc_lower# function to check if all elements are present or notdef check(s): return set(asc_lower) - set(s.lower()) == set([]) # driver codestring ="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"if(check(string)== True): print("The string is a pangram")else: print("The string isn't a pangram") |
The string is a pangram
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Method #2: Using lower(),replace(),list(),set(),sort() and join() methods
Python3
# function to check if all elements are present or notstring ="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"string=string.replace(" ","")string=string.lower()x=list(set(string))x.sort()x="".join(x)alphabets="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"if(x==alphabets): print("The string is a pangram")else: print("The string isn't a pangram") |
The string is a pangram
Time Complexity : O(N logN)
Auxiliary Space : O(N)
Method #3 : Using lower(),replace(),len() methods and for loop
Approach
- Convert the given string to lowercase and remove all spaces
- Check whether all the alphabets are present in given string by incrementing count variable and for loop
- If count is equal to 26(number of alphabets) display The string is a pangram
- If not display The string isn’t a pangram
Python3
# function to check if all elements are present or notstring ="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"string=string.replace(" ","")string=string.lower()alphabets="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"c=0for i in alphabets: if i in string: c+=1if(c==len(alphabets)): print("The string is a pangram")else: print("The string isn't a pangram") |
The string is a pangram
Time Complexity : O(N) N – total number of alphabets
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
