Question

Python class

Select a free ebook on gutenberg . org and download the plain text file (utf8). the ebook is (The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce)

Write a program that does the following:

• Read in your ebook (any book, any language)
• Break the book into words (look at .split() for strings)
• Make a dictionary of all words and how often they occur: for instance if the word'the'happened 2000 time and the word'a' happened 1940 times word_dict= {'the' : 2000, 'a' :1940}
• Print the dictionary of word frequencies to a file (freqs.txt) with the most frequent at the top and least frequent at the bottom
• No need to submit the book, I will run it on my own files.

Turn in a .py or Google Colab URL

Dictionaries are not easily sortable since they are not ordered like a list. To sort for this assignment use the following template.

import operator

sorted_dict = sorted(my_dict.items(),key=operator.itemgetter(1))
