- Program 5: Word Frequencies (Concordance) Use a text editor to create a text file (ex: myPaper.txt) It should contain at least 2 paragraphs with around 200 or more words. Write a Python program (HW19.py) that asks the user to provide the name of the text file. Be SURE to check that it exists!Do NOT hard-code the name of the file! Use the entry provided by the user! read from the text file NOTE: (write your program so that it ONLY works if it reads from the file specified by the user). Your program will produce a dictionary of words with the number of times each occurs. It maps a word to the number of times the word occurs Key: a word Value: the number of times the word occurs in the text.
