This code checks if the first word of the string line
, when converted to uppercase, is not contained in the set of predefined street types (street_types
). It then sets the variable test
to True
if that condition is met.
Detailed Breakdown:
-
street_types
: A set containing possible abbreviations and full names of street types (e.g.,'ST', 'STREET', 'AVE', 'AVENUE'
, etc.). -
line = Drive San Jose
: A string variableline
is assigned the value'Drive San Jose'
. -
Processing in the
if
statement:line.split()
splits the stringline
into a list of words, soline.split()
results in['Drive', 'San', 'Jose']
.line.split()[0]
extracts the first word, which is'Drive'
..upper()
converts'Drive'
to'DRIVE'
.if line.split()[0].upper() not in street_types
: Checks whether'DRIVE'
is not in thestreet_types
set.
-
Outcome:
- If
'DRIVE'
is not in thestreet_types
set, the variabletest
is set toTrue
. - Otherwise, no action is performed because there is no
else
clause.
- If
In This Case:
- The first word in
line
is'Drive'
. 'DRIVE'
converted to uppercase is checked against thestreet_types
set.- Since
'DRIVE'
is in the set, the condition fails, and the variabletest
would not get assigned in this example.
Summary:
This code is a basic check to validate whether the first word of a given string line
is a recognized street type, as defined in the street_types
set. If it is not recognized, it sets test
to True
.
