PYTHON
PROJECT – ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXPLORATION

DESCRIPTION

You will write a program that will analyze the content of a series of articles.

TASK

Find at least five lengthy articles in English on different topics. Copy and paste them into a text file in Pycharm.

Answer the following predictive questions:

• Which 5 letters do you think are the most commonly used?
• Which 5 letters do you think are the least commonly used?
• Do you expect similarities over different articles? Which ones?
• Do you expect differences over different articles? Which ones?

Write a functions necessary to do the following:

• Count total characters in each file.
• Count total sentences in each file.
• Count the average number of words per sentence.
• Count the number of occurrences of each letter in the alphabet.

Run your code on each file.

Analyze the data and see if there is a consistency between different text files. Create a document presenting your findings.

Present your findings to your teacher.

PRESENTATION

• You will demonstrate your working code.
  
  
• You will discuss the results and any consistencies and inconsistencies that you found in different files.
  
  
• You should have several charts sharing information such as:
• The most used letters
• The least used letters
• The percentage of occurrences of each letters
• The average number of words in a sentence.
• A comparison of the different files.

OTHER IDEAS

Consider adding a few files of a different language (same alphabet) or a different time period to see if that writing has specific differences/similarities.
