Transcribed Image Text:1. Complete the function count_words to return the number of words in a text file. The function
is passed a filename but it should work for any file. Do not change the main function. For full
credit, remove the punctuation in the text before splitting it into words. Hint: assume words
are separated by whitespace. Use the string split method to get a list of words. Then the
length of the list is the number of words in the file.

Create a file that contains 20 integers or download the attached file twenty_integers.txt Create a program that: 2. Declares a c-style string array that will store a filename. 3. Prompts the user to enter a filename. Store the file name declared in the c-string. 4. Opens the file. Write code to check the file state. If the file fails to open, display a message and exit the program. 5. Declare an array that holds 20 integers. Read the 20 integers from the fileinto the array.6. Write a function that accepts the filled array as a parameter and determines the MAXIMUM value in the array.Return the maximum value from the function (the function will be of type int).7. Print ALL the array values AND print the maximum value in the array using a range-based for loop.

- Files Class Activity Write a program to write your first name (hard coded) to the screen and possibly to a file whose name is passed into the program from the command line. It can be written in upper or lower case or mixed case as the default. Usage: writer [-f filename] If the -f option is included with a filename, then create a file with that name or overwrite a previously existing file and write your name in on the first line. If the -f option is not included, then only write your name to the screen followed by a newline. Use a copy of the original getopt to parse the command line. Be sure to test whether a file open succeeds or not and close any file you open when done.arrow_forwardDefine the following data structures: Record File Array Stringarrow_forwardPython programming help I need help of question 1 to read a file from persons.txt Write a program that takes a person’s details (name, age and a city), and writes to a file (persons.txt) using a loop repeatedly.
