*#**[http://www.data.gov U.S. Government's Open Data]
 
*#**[http://www.census.gov/ U.S. Census Bureau]

== Wednesday - Friday (2/17/16 - 2/19/16) ==
 
'''Agenda:'''
 
* Introduction to File Reading & Writing (Input & Output)
 
*# Assume you have a single string containing the entire U.S. Constitution.  Calculate and print out the frequency of the word "the"
 
*#* Download the following file: [[Media:Constitution.txt]]
 
*#* Hint: There is a useful string function that converts a string to a list of words.
 
*# Write a program that generates a textfile with 10000 random numbers from 0-100
 
*# Assume you have a single data file with 10000 random numbers from 0 to 100.  Print out the frequency of each of the numbers.
 
*# Assume you have a list of strings of peoples' full names in random order.  Print out an alphabetized list of only the last names.
 
 
 
* Example code to help read in a file:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="Python">
 
# open a text file
 
file = open("Constitution.txt", "r")
 
 
 
# read all lines in the file and save in the constitution string variable
 
constitutionStr = file.read()
 
 
 
# close the file
 
file.close()
 
 
 
print(constitutionStr)
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
* Example code to help write to a file:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="Python">
 
# open a text file
 
file = open("output.txt", "w")
 
 
 
# read all lines in the file and save in the constitution string variable
 
file.write("Hello!\n")
 
file.write("world!")
 
 
 
# close the file
 
file.close()
 
</syntaxhighlight>
