Pangram checker
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Write a function or method to check a sentence to see if it is a pangram or not and show its use.
A pangram is a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet at least once, for example: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
E
<lang e>def isPangram(sentence :String) {
return ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".asSet() &! sentence.toLowerCase().asSet()).size() == 0
}</lang>
&!
is the “but-not” or set difference operator.
Factor
<lang factor>: pangram? ( str -- ? )
[ "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" ] dip >lower diff length 0 = ;
"How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts!" pangram? .</lang>
Haskell
<lang haskell>import Data.Char (toLower)
pangram :: String -> Bool pangram = (`all` ['a' .. 'z']) . flip elem . map toLower
main = print $ pangram "How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts!"</lang>
OCaml
<lang ocaml>let pangram str =
let ar = Array.make 26 false in String.iter (function | 'a'..'z' as c -> ar.(Char.code c - Char.code 'a') <- true | _ -> () ) (String.lowercase str); Array.fold_left ( && ) true ar</lang>
<lang ocaml>let check str =
Printf.printf " %b -- %s\n" (pangram str) str
let () =
check "this is a sentence"; check "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
- </lang>
outputs:
false -- this is a sentence true -- The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Perl
<lang perl>use List::MoreUtils 'all';
sub pangram {all {$_[0] =~ /$_/i} 'a' .. 'z';}
print "Yes.\n" if pangram 'Cozy lummox gives smart squid who asks for job pen.';</lang>
Python
Using set arithmetic: <lang python>import string
def ispangram(sentence, alphabet=string.ascii_lowercase):
alphaset = set(alphabet) return (set(sentence.lower()) & alphaset) == alphaset
print ( ispangram(input('Sentence: ')) )</lang>
Sample output:
Sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog True
Ruby
<lang ruby>def pangram?(sentence)
unused_letters = ('a'..'z').to_a - str.downcase.chars.to_a unused_letters.empty?
end
p pangram?('this is a sentence') # ==> false p pangram?('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.') # ==> true</lang>
