Given a string str1 and we have to count the total numbers of letters and digits.

Example:

    Input: 
    "Hello World!"
    Output:
    Letters: 10
    Digits: 0

    Input: 
    "[email protected]"
    Output:
    Letters: 5
    Digits: 3

Method 1:

(Manual) By checking each character of the string with a range of the letters and numbers using the conditional statement.

print("Input a string: ")
str1 = input()

no_of_letters, no_of_digits = 0,0

for c in str1:
    if (c>='a' and c<='z') or (c>='A' and c<='Z'):
        no_of_letters += 1
    if c>='0' and c<='9':
        no_of_digits += 1

print("Input string is: ", str1)
print("Total number of letters: ", no_of_letters)
print("Total number of digits: ", no_of_digits)

Output

RUN 1:
Input a string: 
Hello World!
Input string is:  Hello World!
Total number of letters:  10
Total number of digits:  0

RUN 2:
Input a string: 
[email protected]
Input string is:  [email protected]
Total number of letters:  5
Total number of digits:  3

Method 2:

By using isalpha() and isnumeric() methods

print("Input a string: ")
str1 = input()

no_of_letters, no_of_digits = 0,0

for c in str1:
  no_of_letters += c.isalpha()
  no_of_digits += c.isnumeric()

print("Input string is: ", str1)
print("Total number of letters: ", no_of_letters)
print("Total number of digits: ", no_of_digits)

Output

RUN 1:
Input a string: 
Hello World!
Input string is:  Hello World!
Total number of letters:  10
Total number of digits:  0

RUN 2:
Input a string: 
[email protected]
Input string is:  [email protected]
Total number of letters:  5
Total number of digits:  3
