Hamlet, Analysis of

WORK IN PROGRESS!

• 1. Download Hamlet.txt to your working folder.

  2. Open the document and observe that it includes the character names when they speak, such as "Ber.", "Fran.", and "Mar."

  3. Assignment 1:

     1. Write a program that detects these character names from the text file and compiles them into a list named "namesList".

     2. Hint: each of these names is preceded by a blank line, is the only word on the line, and ends with a period.

     3. Sort the list, delete any duplicates, and print the names to the screen one-at-a-time to ensure there are no errors.

  4. Assignment 2:

• • 1. Write a program that determines the average sentence length of this version of Hamlet, where the assumption is a sentence ends with either a period or an exclamation mark.

    2. Do not include items that are part of a footnote (designated as "[....]" in this file) or anything included within underscores ("_").
