Wordplay Level 2
- 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
- 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
Above and beyond
- Figure out how to load two years of birth data simultaneously and compare them (e.g., identify the top 20 names from 2017 and figure out how many more/fewer people were named those names in 2018).
- Visualize some of the differences (probably in Excel)
