6. Develop a program to print 10 most frequently appearing words in a text file.

[Hint: Use dictionary


with distinct words and their frequency of occurrences. Sort the dictionary in the reverse order of
frequency and display dictionary slice of first 10 items]

def count_words(filename):

dict = {}

# Read the file and count the occurrences of each word

with open(filename, 'r') as file:

words = file.read().lower().split()

for word in words:

dict[word] = dict.get(word, 0) + 1

return dict

def top_10_words(dict):

# Sort the dictionary by value in descending order

sorted_words = sorted(dict.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)

# Print the top 10 words and their frequencies

print("Top 10 most frequently appearing words:")

for word, count in sorted_words[:10]:

print(f"{word}: {count}")

filename = input("Enter the file name")

# Count and print the words in the file

dict = count_words(filename)

top_10_words(dict)
