Write a function wordcount() that takes the name of a text file as input and prints the number of occurrences of every word in t

he file. You function should be case-insensitive so 'Hello' and 'hello' are treated as the same word. You should ignore words of length 2 or less. Also, be sure to remove punctuation and digits.

Answer:

I am writing a Python program. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.        

import string  #to use string related functions

def wordcount(filename):  # function that takes a text file name as parameter and returns the number of occurrences of every word in file

   file = open(filename, "r")  # open the file in read mode

   wc = dict()  # creates a dictionary

   for sentence in file:  # loop through each line of the file

       sentence = sentence.strip()  #returns the text, removing empty spaces

       sentence=sentence.lower() #converts each line to lowercase to avoid case sensitivity

       sentence = sentence.translate(sentence.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation))  #removes punctuation from every line of the text file

       words = sentence.split(" ")  # split the lines into a list of words

       for word in words:  #loops through each word of the file

           if len(word)>2:  #checks if the length of the word is greater than 2

               if word in wc:  # if the word is already in dictionary

                   wc[word] = wc[word] + 1  #if the word is already present in dict wc then add 1 to the count of that word

               else:  #if the word is not already present

                   wc[word] = 1  # word is added to the wc dict and assign 1 to the count of that word                

   for w in list(wc.keys()):  #prints the list of words and their number of occurrences

       print(w, wc[w])  #prints word: occurrences in key:value format of dict        

wordcount("file.txt") #calls wordcount method and passes name of the file to that method

Explanation:

The program has a function wordcount that takes the name of a text file (filename) as parameter.

open() method is used to open the file in read mode. "r" represents the mode and it means read mode. Then a dictionary is created and named as wc. The first for loop, iterates through each line (sentence) of the text file. strip() method is used to remove extra empty spaces or new line character from each sentence of the file, then each sentence is converted to lower case using lower() method to avoid case sensitivity. Now the words "hello" and "Hello" are treated as the same word.

sentence = sentence.translate(sentence.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation))  statement uses two methods i.e. maketrans() and translate(). maketrans() specifies the punctuation characters that are to be deleted from the sentences and returns a translation table. translate() method uses the table that maketrans() returns in order to replace a character to its mapped character and returns the lines of text file after performing these translations.

Next the split() method is used to break these sentences into a list of words. Second for loop iterates through each word of the text file. As its given to ignore words of length 2 or less, so an IF statement is used to check if the length of word is greater than 2. If this statement evaluates to true then next statement: if word in wc:   is executed which checks if the word is already present in dictionary. If this statement evaluates to true then 1 is added to the count of that word. If the word is not already present  then the word is added to the wc dictionary and 1 s assigned to the count of that word.

Next the words along with their occurrences is printed. The program and its output are attached as screenshot. Since the frankenstein.txt' is not provided so I am using my own text file.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Compare the predictions in terms of the predictors that were used, the magnitude of the difference between the two predictions, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.

Our predictions for the two models were very simmilar. A difference of $32.78 (less than 1% of the total price of the car) is statistically insignificant in this case. Our binned model returned a whole number while the full model returned a more “accurate” price, but ultimately it is a wash. Both models had comparable accuracy, but the full regression seemed to be better trained. If we wanted to use the binned model I would suggest creating smaller bin ranges to prevent underfitting the model. However, when considering the the overall accuracy range and the car sale market both models would be
