{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "2173", "questionFrontendId": "2047", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Number of Valid Words in a Sentence", "titleSlug": "number-of-valid-words-in-a-sentence", "content": "

A sentence consists of lowercase letters ('a' to 'z'), digits ('0' to '9'), hyphens ('-'), punctuation marks ('!', '.', and ','), and spaces (' ') only. Each sentence can be broken down into one or more tokens separated by one or more spaces ' '.

\n\n

A token is a valid word if all three of the following are true:

\n\n\n\n

Examples of valid words include "a-b.", "afad", "ba-c", "a!", and "!".

\n\n

Given a string sentence, return the number of valid words in sentence.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: sentence = "cat and  dog"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: The valid words in the sentence are "cat", "and", and "dog".\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: sentence = "!this  1-s b8d!"\nOutput: 0\nExplanation: There are no valid words in the sentence.\n"!this" is invalid because it starts with a punctuation mark.\n"1-s" and "b8d" are invalid because they contain digits.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: sentence = "alice and  bob are playing stone-game10"\nOutput: 5\nExplanation: The valid words in the sentence are "alice", "and", "bob", "are", and "playing".\n"stone-game10" is invalid because it contains digits.\n
