Python: (1) Given a text document, find the number of times your name appears in the file.

Answer:
Many times it is required to count the occurrence of each word in a text file. To achieve so, we make use of a dictionary object that stores the word as the key and its count as the corresponding value. We iterate through each word in the file and add it to the dictionary with count as 1. If the word is already present in the dictionary we increment its count by 1.
Example #1:
First we create a text file of which we want to count the words. Let this file be sample.txt with the following contents:
Mango banana apple pear
Banana grapes strawberry
Apple pear mango banana
Kiwi apple mango strawberry
Note: Make sure the text file is in same directory as the Python file.

# Open the file in read mode
text = open("sample.txt", "r")
# Create an empty dictionary
d = dict()
# Loop through each line of the file
for line in text:
# Remove the leading spaces and newline character
line = line.strip()
# Convert the characters in line to
# lowercase to avoid case mismatch
line = line.lower()
# Split the line into words
words = line.split(" ")
# Iterate over each word in line
for word in words:
# Check if the word is already in dictionary
if word in d:
# Increment count of word by 1
d[word] = d[word] + 1
else:
# Add the word to dictionary with count 1
d[word] = 1
# Print the contents of dictionary
for key in list(d.keys()):
print(key, ":", d[key])
Output:
mango : 3
banana : 3
apple : 3
pear : 2
grapes : 1
strawberry : 2
kiwi : 1
Example #2:
Consider a file sample.txt that has sentences with punctuation.
Mango! banana apple pear.
Banana, grapes strawberry.
Apple- pear mango banana.
Kiwi "apple" mango strawberry.
