(1) Prompt the user to enter a string of their choosing. Output the string. (1 pt)

Ex:

phrase: The only thing we have to fear fear itself.You entered: The only thing we have to fear fear itself.

(2) Complete the get_num_of_characters() function, which returns the number of characters in the user's string. We encourage you to use a for loop in this function. (2 pts)

(3) Extend the program by calling the get_num_of_characters() function and then output the returned result. (1 pt)

(4) Extend the program further by implementing the output_without_whitespace() function. output_without_whitespace() outputs the string's characters except for whitespace (spaces, tabs). Note: A tab is 't'. Call the output_without_whitespace() function in main(). (2 pts)

Ex:

phrase: The only thing we have to fear fear itself.You entered: The only thing we have to fear fear itself.Number characters: String with whitespace: Theonlythingwehavetofearisfearitself.

I have come up with this solution...

def get_num_of_characters(inputStr):

   count = 0

   for i in range(0,len(inputStr)):

       count = count + 1

   return count

def output_without_whitespace(inputStr):

   statement2 = ''

   for i in range(0,len(inputStr)):

       if(inputStr[i] == ' '):

           statement2 = statement2

       else:

           statement2 = statement2 + inputStr[i]  

   return statement2

inputStr = input('Enter a sentence or phrase: ')

print()

print('You entered:', inputStr)

num = get_num_of_characters(inputStr)

print()

print('Number of characters:', num)

print('String with no whitespace:',output_without_whitespace(inputStr))

but I am getting these errors...

returns this output...
