Question 12

Write a function named repeatCount(). The function repeatCount() takes two string parameters: the name of an input file and the name of an output file. The function repeatCount() should read each line of the input file, identify the number of words on the line that occur more than once, and write that number to a line in the output file. A word should be considered to be repeated if occurs with different capitalization. That is, 'To' and 'to' are the same word. You may assume that the file contains only upper and lower case letters and white space; it does not contain any punctuation marks.

For example, suppose the input file contains the following four lines:

Woke up this morning with an ache in my head

I splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed

I opened the window to listen to the news

But all I heard was the Establishment Blues

Then the output file should contain the following four lines:

0

1

2

2

0

Question 13

Write a function named wordPositions() with the following input and output.

Input: s, a string consisting of upper and lower case letters and spaces.

Return: a dictionary in which each distinct word in s is a key and the corresponding value is a list of the positions in s in which the word occurs. Words are to be treated as the same regardless of their capitalization. That is, "Yes" and "yes" are the same word.

The following is an example of correct output.

>>> s = 'One fish two fish red fish blue fish'

>>> wp = wordPositions(s)

>>> print(wp)

{'two': [2], 'one': [0], 'red': [4], 'fish': [1, 3, 5, 7], 'blue': [6]}

Explanation / Answer

def repeatCount(inputFile, outputFile):
    #open file and read each line
    output = open(outputFile, "w+")
    with open(inputFile, "r+") as f:
        for line in f:
            #split the line into words
            line = line.rstrip()
            words = line.split(" ")
            #convert all words in lowercase
            words = [x.lower() for x in words]
            print(words)
            #for every line output the number of words with count greater than one
            output.write(str(len(words) - len(list(set(words)))) + ' ')

    #save output file and close input file
    output.close()
