Here is gettysburg.txt text:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this

continent a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the

proposition that all men are created equal

Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation

or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure We are

met on a great battle field of that war We have come to dedicate a

portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here

gave their lives that that nation might live It is altogether

fitting and proper that we should do this

But in a larger sense we can not dedicate we can not consecrate

we can not hallow this ground The brave men living and dead

who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to

add or detract The world will little note nor long remember what

we say here but it can never forget what they did here It is for

us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work

which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced It is

rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining

before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion

to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion

that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died

in vain that this nation under God shall have a new birth of

freedom and that government of the people by the people for the

people shall not perish from the earth.

Assignment:

To test this script you must copy into your hw5 directory the files gettysburg.txt from gettysburg_hay.txt /home/ghoffman/course_files/it117_files.

Specification

The purpose of this exercise is to create a script that compares two versions of the Gettysburg address. Create a script that does the following

Reads in text files and creates a set of words in each file

Creates sets of the words found in one file but not the other

Prints the difference sets found

This script must contain three functions.

word_set_create

set_difference

word_set_print

word_set_create

This function must have the following header

def word_set_create(filename) 

This function reads in a text file and returns a set of all words found in the file. This function must ignore case, so "We" and "we" should count as the same word.

set_difference

This function has the following header

def set_difference(set_1, set_2): 

This function will create a list of all words found in the first set that were not found in the second.

word_set_print

This function has the following header

def word_set_print(word_set): 

This function prints the words in a set alphabetical order.

Test Code

The script must contain the following test code at the bottom of the file

word_set = word_set_create('xxxxxxx') word_set_1 = word_set_create('gettysburg.txt') word_set_2 = word_set_create('gettysburg_hay.txt') set_1_set_2_difference = set_difference(word_set_1, word_set_2) set_2_set_1_difference = set_difference(word_set_2, word_set_1) print() print('Words in the first text not found in the second') word_set_print(set_1_set_2_difference) print() print('Words in the second text not found in the first') word_set_print(set_2_set_1_difference) 

Suggestions

Write this script in stages, testing your script at each step

Create a file with the hashbang line, the test code and each function. The body of the function should be the Python statement pass which does nothing but it stops syntax errors.

Remove the pass statement in word_set_create and replace it with code that opens a file for reading. If the file cannot be opened for reading, the code should print an error message and not do any further processing of the file.

Create an set called word_set. After this statement write a for loop that prints each line in the file.

Use the lower string method to change all capital letters in the string to lower case.

Use the split string method to create a list of all the words in the file. Print this list.

Remove the previous print statement. In its place write a for loop that prints each word in the list.

Replace the print statement with a statement that adds the word to word_set. After the for loop, print word_set

Remove the print statement from the end of the function. Replace it with a statement that returns word_set.

Remove the pass statement from set_difference and replace it with a statement that return the difference between set_1 and set_2

Replace the the pass statement in word_set_print with a statement that prints the parameter word_set.

Replace the print statement in word_set_print with a for loop that prints each element of the set.

Change the for loop so it prints the words in alphabetical order.

Output

Your output should look something like this:

Cannot open file xxxxxxx Words in the first text not found in the second advanced battle field fought god under Words in the second text not found in the first battlefield carried upon
