Text File Worksheet

The document provides Python functions to perform various text file operations, including counting occurrences of specific words, identifying lines with certain characters, and counting words based on length. Functions include count_words() for counting 'the', readstar() for lines with '*', word5count() for words longer than 5 characters, count_lines() for lines starting with 'T', and count_are() for occurrences of 'are'. Each function demonstrates file handling and string manipulation in Python.

Worksheet

Q1. Write a user-defined function count_words() in Python to read


the contents of a text file "[Link]" and count how many times
the word "the" occurs (ignoring case details).

def count_words():

file = open("[Link]", "r")

content = [Link]()

words = [Link]()

count = 0

for w in words:

if [Link]() == "the":

count += 1

print("Total occurrences of 'the':", count)

[Link]()

2. Write a function readstar() that reads a text file [Link] and display
line numbers that contains * anywhere. For example, the file contains

The multiplication symbol * has many meaning The *


can also be used as pointer

The addition symbol + also has many meaning

The output of the readstar() should be

Line no 1 has star Line no 2 has star.

Ans. def readstar():

f=open(“[Link]”,”r”)
l=[Link]() # it will return list of lines
count=0
for x in l:

count=count+1

if x in “*”:
print(“Line no “, count, “ has star”)

3. Write a function word5count() that count number of words whose length


is more than 5 characters in above given [Link] file.

def word5count():
f=open(“[Link]”,”r”)

s=[Link]()

l=[Link]()

count=0

for x in l:
if len(x)>5:
count=count+1
print(“ total words having length more then 5 are “, count)

4. Write a function in Python to count the number of lines in a text


fie ‘[Link]’ which start with an alphabet ‘T’ .

Ans. def count_lines():


count = 0
file=open("[Link]", "r")
for line in file:
if [Link]('T'):
count += 1
print("Number of lines starting with 'T' =", count)

5. Write a method in Python to read lines from a text file


[Link], to find and display the occurrence of the word 'are'. For
example, if the content of the file is:

Books are referred to as a man’s best friend. They are very


beneficial for mankind and have helped it evolve. Books leave a
deep impact on us and are responsible for uplifting our mood.

The output should be 3.


Ans. def count_are():
count = 0
f=open("[Link]", "r")
for line in file:
words = [Link]()
for word in words:
if [Link](".,!?;:").lower() == "are":
count += 1

print("Occurrence of 'are' =", count)


count_are()
