Function for Word Comparrison

[riseandshine0]

Write a function that takes a string and compares every word in the string with a given dict.

The given dict looks something like

bad_word = {'Monster' : 5, 'Thief' : 3.6, 'Money' : 1}

Add all scores, assuming 0 for missing words, and return the sum

Where would this be used? And how do you determine the scores in the dictionary values?

@riseandshine0 I may be wrong but are you comparing all the words used in the dictionary with the ones used in the articles to tell how much reliable the headline is ?

[riseandshine0]

@asiffarhankhan just the words in the headline are compared, in the first step anyway

@mandjevant this would be used to get an imaginary number to rate the headline. In the beginning we could randomize the values for the words

Since this is from r/learningpython I wanted to have an easy entrypoint for people who are willing to contribute but don't have much experience

@riseandshine0 But the headline is subject to the article. So if you'd run it through a static dictionary, it would not be personalized to the article. I think you could better cross-reference words and synonyms in the title with words in the article.

This would just as easy as the dictionary idea.

@riseandshine0 To acquire an understanding of the title being related to the article.
It would be logical to say; if no words (or synonyms from the words) in the title are mentioned in the article, the title does not fit the article.
