Task 3

Part A)

Create a function which counts the number of occurrences of words from a "censored words list" in a text.

Example:

Input:

{"moew", "woof"} and "I have a cat named Meow and a dog name Woof. I love the dog a lot. He is larger than a small horse."

Output:

"I have a cat named M$$w and a dog name W$$f. I love the dog a lot. He is larger than a small horse."

Part C)

Example:

Input:

"Anna went to vote in the election to fulfil her civic duty"

Output:

"A$$a went to vote in the election to fulfil her c$$$c duty"

Part D - BONUS)

Come up with at least 3 different ways to provide the "censored words list" to the application. This task does not require coding, please send us 3 bullet points on how you would do this.
