WPM Calculation #24

Description

@raptor7197

Create a function to report the Word per minute calculation at the end of the exercise

WPM in typing tests is usually calculated by dividing the total characters typed (standardized to 5 characters per “word”) by the time in minutes. Most algorithms either report gross WPM or subtract uncorrected mistakes to give a net WPM with accuracy.

Gross WPM

gross_wpm = (total_chars / 5) / (time_seconds / 60)

WPM with penalty

net_wpm = ((total_chars / 5) - uncorrected_errors) / (time_seconds / 60)
