Write a program that reads words passing from a string parameter and create a dictionary mapping last letters to the number of words ending with that letter. For example, the string is 'apple banana orange grape cherry', the program will out put a dictionary fruitName that print(fruitName) will give us output {'e': 3, 'a': 1, 'y': 1}   def count_last_letter(words):     # YOUR CODE HERE     raise NotImplementedError()

Question

Write a program that reads words passing from a string parameter and create a dictionary mapping last letters to the number of words ending with that letter.

For example, the string is 'apple banana orange grape cherry', the program will out put a dictionary fruitName that

print(fruitName)

will give us output

{'e': 3, 'a': 1, 'y': 1}

 

def count_last_letter(words):

    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

In the given scenario, we need to write a function count_last_letter(words) which takes a string as parameter and returns a dictionary with the last letters of the words present in the dictionary and their count of the number of such last lettered words present in the string.

For this we will make use of a function named split() in python which will separate the words in the string by a white space.
