Question

Need help with the code for this assignment.

Python Assignment: List and Tuples

We will do some basic data analysis on information stored in external files.

GirNames.txt
contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to girls born in US from year 2000 thru 2009: (copy link and create a txt file): https://docs.google.com/document/d/11YCVqVTrzqQgp2xJqyqPruGtlyxs2X3DFWn1YUb3ddw/edit?usp=sharing

BoyNames.txt
contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to boys born in US from year 2000 thru 2009 (copy link and create txt file): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XrZdpMxhs16PZ_fmCcR_5xEE5PDHd1XFNmAfZUWyvU/edit?usp=sharing

Here is the high-level algorithm (you still have work to do):
open BoyNames.text for reading
read all lines into a list
close the file
while there are elements in list
strip the \n from each element
open GirlNames.txt for reading
read all lines into a list
close file
while there are elements in list
strip \n from each element
get user input for boy
get user input for girl
display result for boy's name entered by user (you need a decision structure as output depends on user input)
display result for girl's name entered by user (you need a decision structure as output depends on user input)

Input: a boy's name, a girl's name, or 'N' for none
Output: messages indicating whether the names were among the most popular

Note: Use a try/except to catch IOError
as anytime we deal with external files, problems may occur (file doesn't exist, we don't have permissions, disk is corrupted, and so on).

Note: We will test code with THREE sample runs:

• First run uses the names Michael and Emma (see sample run below)
• Second run user enters N for both of the prompts (answer N for boys and N for girls)
• Third run we enter names of our choice but at least one is NOT popular

Sample Output:

Here is first run showing output when user input for both boy and girl are popular names (user input shown in italics/bold ).

Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: Michael
Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Emma
Michael is one of the most popular boy's names.
Emma is one of the most popular girl's names.

Here is a second run where user says 'N' to entering names

$ python babyname.py
Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: N
Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: N
You chose not to enter a boy's name.
You chose not to enter a girl's name.

Here is third run showing user input with a girl name not in the GirlNames.txt file:

$ python babyname.py
Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: John
Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Ada
John is one of the most popular boy's names.
Ada is not one of the most popular girl's names.

Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: Michael Michael is among the most popular boys name. Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Emma Emma is among the most popular girls name.

Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: N Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: N

Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: John John is among the most popular boys name. Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Saraswati Saraswati is not among the most popular girls name.
