10.2 Write a program to read through the mbox-short.txt and figure out the distribution by hour of the day for each of the messages. You can pull the hour out from the 'From ' line by finding the time and then splitting the string a second time using a colon. From stephen.marquard@uct.ac.za Sat Jan 5 09:14:16 2008 Once you have accumulated the c…
name = raw_input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1 : name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)
d=dict()
for line in handle:
if not line.startswith("From "):
continue
else:
line=line.split()
line=line[5]

5.2 Write a program that repeatedly prompts a user for integer numbers until the user enters 'done'. Once 'done' is entered, print out the largest and smallest of the numbers. If the user enters anything other than a valid number catch it with a try/except and put out an appropriate message and ignore the number. Enter the numbers from the book …
largest = None
smallest = None
while True:
num = raw_input("Enter a number: ")
if num == "done" : break
try:
num = int(num)
except:
print "Invalid input"
continue

4.6 Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using raw_input to compute gross pay. Award time-and-a-half for the hourly rate for all hours worked above 40 hours. Put the logic to do the computation of time-and-a-half in a function called computepay() and use the function to do the computation. The function should return a v…
hrs = raw_input("Enter Hours:")
h = float(hrs)
rate = raw_input("Enter Rates:")
r = float(rate)
def computepay(h,r):
if h > 40:
payoff = 40*r +(h-40)*1.5*r
else:
payoff = h*r

9.4 Write a program to read through the mbox-short.txt and figure out who has the sent the greatest number of mail messages. The program looks for 'From ' lines and takes the second word of those lines as the person who sent the mail. The program creates a Python dictionary that maps the sender's mail address to a count of the number of times th…

7.2 Write a program that prompts for a file name, then opens that file and reads through the file, looking for lines of the form: X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475 Count these lines and extract the floating point values from each of the lines and compute the average of those values and produce an output as shown below. Do not use the sum() function or …
# Use the file name mbox-short.txt as the file name
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
count = 0
total = 0
for line in fh:
if not line.startswith("X-DSPAM-Confidence:") : continue
t=line.find("0")
number= float(line[t:])
count = count + 1

6.5 Write code using find() and string slicing (see section 6.10) to extract the number at the end of the line below. Convert the extracted value to a floating point number and print it out.
text = "X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475";
t = text.find("0")
h = text[t:t+6]
h = float(h)
print h

7.1 Write a program that prompts for a file name, then opens that file and reads through the file, and print the contents of the file in upper case. Use the file words.txt to produce the output below. You can download the sample data at http://www.pythonlearn.com/code/words.txt
# Use words.txt as the file name
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ")
fh = open(fname)
for line in fh:
line_upper=line.upper()
line_strip=line_upper.rstrip()
print line_strip

8.5 Open the file mbox-short.txt and read it line by line. When you find a line that starts with 'From ' like the following line: From stephen.marquard@uct.ac.za Sat Jan 5 09:14:16 2008 You will parse the From line using split() and print out the second word in the line (i.e. the entire address of the person who sent the message). Then print out…

8.4 Open the file romeo.txt and read it line by line. For each line, split the line into a list of words using the split() method. The program should build a list of words. For each word on each line check to see if the word is already in the list and if not append it to the list. When the program completes, sort and print the resulting words in…
