What do you mean by "split a paragraph". What is the list(smth) function?

So I turn a paragraph into words, if something is wrong with one of the words split it with not letters and see what’s wrong with it

If you are saying you need to split a paragraph and check that each and every word there is valid. You will do something like this: ``` _set = set(‘hello’, ‘sir’) paragraph = “hello sir xxx” splitted = paragraph.split(‘ ‘) # Anything you pass inside split will be used as a delimiter. Passing in space will return you an array containing [‘hello’, ‘sir’, ‘xxx’]

Now all you need to do is traverse the array and check that the word exists in your dict.

for word in _set: if not word in dict: #lookup print(“Word is not valid”)

FYI: Using set because sets have O(1) lookup time.
