Question

book_name is the war and peace txt file call:
War_and_Peace_no_punc.txt from project gutenberg

When writing dictify, we need to account for the ' ' characters at the end of certain words.
So we need to get these new values :

{6: 48342, 15: 254, 23: 2} this is only part of the solution

Your challenge for this problem is to create a function dictify that takes in 1 argument: book_name. book_name: the string that is the name of the file to opern return: a dictionary containing the count of each length of word in sorted order. Eg. How many words total of length 1, 2, 3...? Your output should look like (we cut out most of the dictionary): (6: 48342, 15: 254, 23: 2) Hints: Read in files using infile-open (filename), make sure that you are in the same directory. . Read each line by looping through with a simple for loop Split the lines using line.split(" "), to get a list of the words Since the book is long and complex, you might get zero length words (some tabs and spaces). Make sure to filter those out of your dictionary! Your output dictionary should have its keys in sorted order, so [1: xxxx, 2: xxxxx, 3: xxxxx..

Explanation / Answer

#dictify function

def dictify(filename):

#oopening the file

File = open(filename,'r')

#temporary dictionary

Dict = {}

  

#setting all values to 0

for i in range(0,30):

Dict[i]=0

#reading lines in file

for line in File:

#splitting the words

words=line.split(' ');

#evaluating the word

for word in words:

#fincding the length

key = len(word)

  

#if the word is valid

if(key!=0):

#incrementing the count of the length

Dict[key] = Dict[key]+1;

#new dictionary without the 0 count elements data

NewDict = {i:Dict[i] for i in Dict if Dict[i]!=0}

#returning the new resultant dictionary

return NewDict

#main program to test the code

def main():

#reading the file name

filename=input("Entr file name ::")

  

#getting the data

data = dictify(filename)

#printing the data

print(data)
