Question

In Python:

Given a file like this:

Blake 4

Bolt 1

De Grasse 3

Gatlin 2

Simbine 5

Youssef Meite 6

Your program when completed should produce output like this:

>>>

In the 2016 100 yard dash the top finishers were:

Blake

Bolt

De Grasse

Gatlin

Simbine

Youssef Meite

The people with a two part name are: ['De Grasse', 'Youssef Meite']

The top three finishers were: ['Bolt', 'De Grasse', 'Gatlin']

Your mission will be to do the following:

1. Develop algorithms to solve all remaining steps in this problem.

2. Use a list comprehension to load the data from a file named “runners.txt”.

3. Use the information read in from the file to print out the names of the top 6 finishers formatted as shown in the example above.

4. Use a list comprehension to create a list of the names that have two parts to them.

5. Use a list comprehension to create a list of the people who finished in the top the positions.

Explanation / Answer

from nltk.tokenize import RegexpTokenizer
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
from nltk.tokenize import PunktSentenceTokenizer
data = open("E:Cheggpythoninput.txt",'r')

##reg_tokenizer = RegexpTokenizer("[w']+")
##sent_tokenizer = PunktSentenceTokenizer()
##name = ""
##for i in data:
## for sent in sent_tokenizer.tokenize(i):
## for word in reg_tokenizer.tokenize(sent):
## if word.isalpha():
## print word

l = []
k = []
for i in data:
l.append(i)

for i in l:
sublist = str(i)
k.append(sublist)
name = ""
two_word = 0
> for j in k:
if len(j.split(" ")) == 3:
for i in j.split(" "):
if i.isalpha():
name = name +" "+ i
print name
two_word = two_word + 1
name = ""
else:
for i in j.split(" "):
if i.isalpha():
print i
+ 1

print "Total one word name =" + str (one_word) +" "
print "Total two word name =" + str(two_word)+ " "
