def fileProcess(filename):
"""Call the program with an argument,
it should treat the argument as a filename,
splitting it up into words, and computes the length of each word.
print a table showing the word count for each of the word lengths
that has been encountered.
Example:
Length Count
1 16
2 267
3 267
4 169
>>>"&"
Length Count
0 0
>>>
>>>"right."
Length Count
5 10
"""
Note that ">>>" is commonly used in docstrings to implement doctests. That
is, it should represent the beginning of a line (or more) of executable
Python code, followed by the expected output for that code.
Example:
def add(x,y):
"""Add two numbers.
>>> 1+1
2
>>> add(1,1)
2
>>> add(1,1) == 1+1
True
"""
return x+y
