Question

WRITE USING PYTHON PROGRAMMING

THE CODE GIVEN BELOW HAS SOME ERRORS WHICH NEED TO BE SOLVED. ALSO THE 2 POINTS MENTIONED BELOW SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE CODE

Write a script that calculates the 3 longest words of a text stored in a file and print them from the longest to the smaller of the 3.

Please note:

1. The name of the file is word_list.csv and it doesn’t need to be asked to the user (meaning the name will be in the code)

2. Assume that the file contains n records, each one composed by 1 word. Words can be present more than once, but only unique words need to be considered

A sample word_list.csv file is attached for testing.

THIS CODE NEEDS TO BE MOSIFIED SO AS THE ABOVE 2 CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED (TOP 3 LONGEST UNIQUE WORDS SHOULD BE MENTIONED IN THE OUTPUT)

handle = open('word_list.csv','r')
top3 = ["","",""]
for line in handle:    #For each line in the file, strip the input and put it into the word variable
    word = line.strip()    #Compare the length of each incoming word to the length of each word in each position
    for i in range(0,3):
        top3.sort(key = len)
        if (len(word) > len(top3[i])):
            top3[-i] = word#Print the words
print ("\nThe 3 longest words are:", top3)

Answer 1

handle = []
with open('word_list.csv','r') as file: 

        # reading each line      
        for line in file: 

                # reading each word              
                for word in line.split(): 

                        handle.append(word)
   

handle = list(set(handle))  #remove duplicates

top3 = ["","",""]
for line in handle:    #For each line in the file, strip the input and put it into the word variable
    word = line.strip()    #Compare the length of each incoming word to the length of each word in each position
    for i in range(0,3):
        top3.sort(key = len)
        if (len(word) > len(top3[i])):
            top3[-i] = word#Print the words
print ("\nThe 3 longest words are:", top3)
