Above and Beyond
If you're feeling adventurous, try these problems and post your solutions on Piazza
- For every letter, print the word that uses that character the most. (Hint: use two nested for loops. First one is
for letter in 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz': # do something
- (Challenge) Find the longest string where no character appears more than 1 time. (Hint: look up counters)
- Use Python to find one other interesting fact about the data set. Examples (that you can't use) might be:
- One of the words that is tied for the most vowels is aquifoliaceous
- The word with the highest consonant to vowel ratio is sulphhydryls
