Answer:
def word_count(word):
return len(word)
a = word_count('scream')
print(a
Explanation:
Using python3:
def word_count(word):
#defines a function named word_count which takes in a single argument which is the word to be counted
return len(word)
#The only thing the function does is to count the number letters in the word.
For instance :
return len(word)
Calling the function and attaching it to the variable named a
Counts the number of letters in scream and assigns the result to a
a = word_count('scream')
print(a)
a gives an output of 6 ; which is the number of letters in scream.
