Implement word count / frequency programs


import string

def word_count(file_path):

# Initialize an empty dictionary to store word counts

word_counts = {}

try:

# Open the file in read mode

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

# Read the entire content of the file

text = file.read()

# Remove punctuation and convert text to lowercase

text = text.translate(str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation)).lower()

# Split the text into individual words

words = text.split()

# Count the frequency of each word

for word in words:

if word in word_counts:

word_counts[word] += 1

else:

word_counts[word] = 1

return word_counts

except FileNotFoundError:

print(f"Error: The file at {file_path} was not found.")

return None
# Example usage

file_path = 'example.txt' # Replace this with the path to your text file

word_counts = word_count(file_path)

# Display the word counts if the dictionary is populated

if word_counts is not None:

for word, count in word_counts.items():

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