Concept explainers
The following is an old word puzzle: “Name a common word, besides tremendous, stupendous and horrendous, that ends in dous.” If you think about this for a while, it will probably come to you. However, we can also solve this puzzle by reading a text file of English words and outputting the word if it contains “dous” at the end. The text file “words.txt” contains 87, 314 English words, including the word that completes the puzzle. This file is available online with the source code for the book. Write a

- Write a program that first reads in the name of an input file and then reads the input file using the file.readlines() method. The input file contains an unsorted list of number of seasons followed by the corresponding TV show. Your program should put the contents of the input file into a dictionary where the number of seasons are the keys, and a list of TV shows are the values (since multiple shows could have the same number of seasons). Sort the dictionary by key (least to greatest) and output the results to a file named output_keys.txt, separating multiple TV shows associated with the same key with a semicolon (;). Next, sort the dictionary by values (alphabetical order), and output the results to a file named output_titles.txt. Ex: If the input is: file1.txt and the contents of file1.txt are: 20 Gunsmoke 30 The Simpsons 10 Will & Grace 14 Dallas 20 Law & Order 12 Murder, She Wrote the file output_keys.txt should contain: 10: Will & Grace 12: Murder, She Wrote 14: Dallas…arrow_forwardWrite a program that first reads in the name of an input file and then reads the input file using the file.readlines() method.

One filecontains a list of words that you want to count. For the following explanation, let’s call it words.txt.(When your program runs, the user could type a different name. Do not hardcode any filenames inyour code.) The second file contains the text that you want to search for each word. For theexplanation, let’s call it story.txt.Ask the user to enter the name of each file. Assume that the files are located in the same directoryas your code file.For each word in words.txt, search through story.txt and count how many times the word occurs.Print a summary similar to the sample output below.Note 1: You should consider a “word” to be anything bounded by whitespace. You do not need todo any processing to account for punctuation or other special characters. For example, in thesample below, “time.” (with a period) is not considered the same as the word “time” (without aperiod).

The file is structured as multiple lines containing numbers separated by a single space.For example, this would be an acceptable file: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 Your program should open this file and: print all its contents; write the median of all numbers to a new file called result.txt. IMPORTANT NOTES: the median is the element in the middle when you sort the values; the median of values (2, 1, 3) is 2, because when you sort them, you get 1, 2, 3, and 2 is the value in the middle. you can assume there will be no empty lines; there might be any arbitrary number lines in the file; there might be any arbitrary number of elements in a single line; you can assume there will always be an odd number of elements. Example 1: If input is: file1.txt and the contents of file1.txt are: 1 2 2 you should first print the content, and then write 2 to result.txt.

- Write a program that receives a coded message file(Lab3ExtraCreditCT.txt) from your local espionage agent and decodes it into a file using standard English. The problem is your agent forgot to tell you the key used to decode the message. Fortunately, this is a simple substitution code consistently using 1 alphanumeric character to represent another, this is case sensitive. All other characters are not substituted, so a space will always be a space, a – will always be a –, a @ will always be a @, etcetera. You may use the following table to help you, it contains the most common letters used in the English language in descending order.

Each row of the tsv file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score, and the Final score of a student. A sample of the student information is provided in StudentInfo.tsv. Assume the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20. The program performs the following tasks: A: 90 =< x B: 80 =< x < 90 C: 70 =< x < 80 D: 60 =< x < 70 F: x < 60 Output the last names, first names, exam scores, and letter grades of the students into a text file named report.txt.

Write a program that uses this file to implement a simple word checker. First, read all the words into a collection. Then, using this collection find the average length of all the words and write this number to the console.Finally, using a text file that contains written English paragraphs, the program should examine each word of each line and output to the console all the words that are not in the collection as potentially misspelled words. Write to the console how many words in this text file are above the average length of the dictionary words computed above.arrow_forward
