write the bible in python

To write the bible in python, you can begin by downloading a text file of the bible in plain text format. This can be found from various sources, including Project Gutenberg. Once you have the text file, you can use python to process it and manipulate it as needed.

First, open the text file using python's built-in open() function. Then, you can read the contents of the file using the read() method.

main.py
with open('bible.txt', 'r') as f:
    text = f.read()
54 chars
3 lines

Next, you can split the text into individual words using the split() method. This will create a list of individual words.

main.py
words = text.split()
21 chars
2 lines

To count the frequency of each word, you can use a python dictionary. Loop through the list of words, adding each word to the dictionary if it doesn't exist and increasing the count if it does.

main.py
word_counts = {}
for word in words:
    if word not in word_counts:
        word_counts[word] = 1
    else:
        word_counts[word] += 1
139 chars
7 lines

Once you have the word counts, you can sort the dictionary by value in descending order and write the results to a new file.

main.py
sorted_word_counts = sorted(word_counts.items(), key=lambda kv: kv[1], reverse=True)

with open('bible_word_counts.txt', 'w') as f:
    for word, count in sorted_word_counts:
        f.write(f'{word}: {count}\n')
213 chars
6 lines

This will produce a file with each word and its frequency, sorted by frequency in descending order.
