-We will go through the Jupyter Notebook file in class. Once we understand what is is doing, you can use it as a springboard to write programs that do each of the following:
-# Search for your own name. Are there both boys and girls that have your name? Is it more popular for one group than for the other?
-#* Carly
-# What is the most common name for each gender?
-#* Jessie
-# What is the least common name?
-#* Vanessa
-# How often does the least common name occur? (Does that concern you?)
-#* Tamara
-# Are there more boys names or girls names?
-# What is the longest name in the dataset?
-# How many boys and girls names are described in the dataset (i.e., how unique boy names and unique girl names are there)?
-# How many boys names are also girls names? How many girls names are also boys names?
-#* Zhaozhe
-# What is the most popular girl name that is also a boy name?
-#* Yihan
 === Above and beyond ===
 # Write a function that takes a prefix as input and prints the number of boys and girls with that prefix (e.g., get_names("m") would list all names that start with "m" and get_names("ma") would only list those that start with "ma").
-#* Jeremy
 # Plot (in Excel) the number of people who share a name with n other people in the data set, where n is 4 to 19.
-# Reuse and modify the code at the end of [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jdfoote/Intro-to-Programming-and-Data-Science/master/summer-2020//week_5_exercises.ipynb today's notebook] so that it prints a dictionary of the total population of cities that start with each letter of the alphabet.
