Question 10

def lookInto(inFile, outFile, searchString):

Question 11A (12 points)
Write a definition line for a class named State and a one-line docstring that describes what a State is.
Write definitions for the following methods in the State class:
1. An initialization method. The initialization method should:
– take a string parameter, name, and assign it to the instance attribute name of the state being
created
– create an instance attribute named universities for the state being created and initialize
it to the empty list
2. A method named add_university. This method should take the name of a university as a string
parameter and add it to the list of universities for that state.
3. A method named is_home_of. This method should take the name of a university as a string
parameter. If the university is in the state’s list of universities it should return True, otherwise it
should return False.

Question 11B (8 points)


Assume that the code for the class State (Question 11A) has been saved in a file named state.py. Write
code that performs the following tasks (each task takes one line):
1. import the module that defines the class State
2. create a state named New Jersey
3. add universities NJIT and Princeton to New Jersey
4. check whether New Jersey is home of MIT and print the result

Question 12 (20 points)


Write a function named wordLineCount with the following input and output:

Input: a string parameter, inFile, that is the name of a file


Output: return a dictionary in which each unique word in inFile is a key and the corresponding value
is the number of lines on which that word occurs

The file inFile contains only lower case letters and white space.
For example, if the file ben.txt contains these lines:
tell me and i forget
teach me and i remember
involve me and i learn

then the following would be correct output:


>>> print(wordLineCount('ben.txt'))
{'tell': 1, 'me': 3, 'and': 3, 'i': 3, 'forget': 1, 'teach': 1, 'remember': 1, 'involve':
1, 'learn': 1}
Question 13 (20 points)
Write a function named lineStats. The function lineStats takes three parameters:
1. inFile, a string that is the name of an input file
2. outFile, a string that is the name of an output file
3. threshold, an int that is the length above which a word is considered significant

The function lineStats should read and analyze each line of the input file and write two statistics,
separated by a space, about the line to a corresponding line of the output file.
The two statistics for each line are:
1. the number of words
2. the number of distinct significant words (that is, words longer than threshold)
Hint: if a word occurs more than once on a line it counts as a single word.
Upper and lower case characters are considered the same ( 'Word' and 'word' are the same word). The
input file contains only upper and lower case letters and white space.
For example, if the file fish.txt contains the following lines:
Yes some are red and some are blue
Some are old and some are new

Then the function call:


lineStats('fish.txt', 'fishOut.txt', 3)

should produce an output file fishOut.txt with the following content:

7 1
