Answer 1

Code Screenshot :

#Prompting the user for filename filename=input("Please enter the filename: ") #Opening the file with open(filename) as f: content = f.readlines() #Storing the words into a list content = [x.strip() for x in content] #Sorting the list 1st2 = sorted(content, key=len, reverse=True) count=0 #printing the result for i in Ist2: #BReaks out of loop when reached 10 | if count==10: break print(str(i)+"%-105" %":"+str(len(i))+" letters"), count=count+1

Executable Code:

#Prompting the user for filename
filename=input("Please enter the filename: ")

#Opening the file
with open(filename) as f:
   content = f.readlines()
#Storing the words into a list
content = [x.strip() for x in content]

#Sorting the list
lst2 = sorted(content, key=len,reverse=True)

count=0
#printing the result
for i in lst2:
   #BReaks out of loop when reached 10
   if count==10:
       break
   print(str(i)+"%-10s" %":"+str(len(i))+" letters")
   count=count+1

Sample Output:

Please Note : you can change the value of reverse above to be True or False for ascending or descending

Save the text file in the same folder as the code :


sample.txt 1 2 3 4 5 pizza toy phone computer chair desk shelf cup bed window clock house roof pen 9 10 11 12 13 14




When reverse = True

It prints in Descending :


Please enter the filename: sample.txt computer: 8 letters window: 6 letters pizza: 5 letters phone: 5 letters chair: 5 letters shelf: 5 letters clock: 5 letters house: 5 letters desk: 4 letters roof: 4 letters

When reverse=False m it prints in ascending :

Please enter the filename: sample.txt toy: 3 letters cup: 3 letters bed: 3 letters pen: 3 letters desk: 4 letters roof: 4 letters pizza: 5 letters phone: 5 letters chair: 5 letters shelf: 5 letters
