- 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:…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.

In this problem, you will create an index for a text but, instead of page number, you will use the line numbers. You will implement function index() that takes as input the name of a text file and a list of words. For every word in the list, your function will find the lines in the text file where the word occurs and print the corresponding line numbers (where the numbering starts at 1). You should open and read the file only once Create the python function as part of a python program. The data required for the function should be created in the python program and passed to the function. its an exercise pyrthon problem 6.27arrow_forward
- This is Python Program 5: Improve the file copy program from Lab 9 so that it will make sure the user enters a file that exists. If a file doesn’t exist, the open function will raise the FileNotFoundError. You do not need to check if the destination exists since a file doesn’t need to exist to write it. Instead of copying the content of the source as exact, it only copies non-empty lines and it also prepend each line with a line number. A line is empty if the length of the line stripped of white space from both end is 0. The code segment below shows how to strip white space and getting the length of the string. If the length of the line is zero, the line is a blank line. line1 = " " line2 = " aa " print(len(line1.strip())) # 0 print(len(line2.strip())) # 2 In the sample run, “add.py” is the source file and “add-copy.py” is the destination file. Note that “add-copy.py” contains only non-blank lines from “add.py” and each line in “add-copy.py” is labelled with a line number. Sample run:…arrow_forwardImplement a function wordCount, which reads a text file, and returns thenumber of words in the file. You can assume the file only contains thealphabet characters and the space character. However there may be morethan one space character between two words, so “abc abc” and “abc abc”,for example, are both two words. int wordCount ( const char * filename ) {}arrow_forwardI already have the code for the assignment below, but there is some errors in the code. Please help me fix them. The assignment: Make a telephone lookup program. Read a data set of 1,000 names and telephone numbers from a file that contains the numbers in random order. Handle lookups by name and also reverse lookups by phone number. Use a binary search for both lookups. This assignment needs a resource class and a driver class. The resource class and the driver class will be in two separate files. The resource class will contain all of the methods and the driver class only needs to call the methods. The driver class needs to have only 5 lines of code. The code needs to be written in Java. Please help me with exactly what I asked for help.

- Write a program to read and store four student’s name and their Salaries, sort them into an order name, based on Salaries from the smallest to the largest, then print them out. The student’s name and their Salary values should be typed in by the user in response to a prompt message. Save the file as SortName_yourID.javaarrow_forwardComputer Science Using Java, write a simple Insertion Sort program that can read in integers from a text file (line by line) and sort them into another text file. Use inFile and outFile for the input and output files, respectively. Also make sure that the algorithm keeps track of the comparisons and exchanges performed by the sort so that they may be printed out in the console after the sort is completedarrow_forwardWrite a program that reads words from a file (filename given as a string parameter) and prints the occurance of each word(case insensitive).
