CS 431/631 Assignments

Assignment 1: Counting in Python due 2:30pm January 29

For this assignment, you should continue to use the Waterloo CS Jupyter hub. Use your password for the CS student computing environment.

This assignment requires you to implement a mechanism for answering queries about some count-based statistics over tokens in the text of Shakespeare's plays. You will need to upload the following files to the Jupyter hub:

• Shakespeare.txt: the complete text of Shakespeare's plays
• simple_tokenize.py: a simple Python module for tokenizing text
• A1.ipynb: this is the starter notebook for A1, in which you will do your assignment work.

The first two files should already have been uploaded to the hub for Assignment 0. You can just re-use the copies that you already uploaded. To get started working on the assignment, open the starter notebook on the hub.

When you have finished, submit A1 using the same procedure you used for A0:

1. Download your A1.ipynb file from the Jupyter hub to your computer.
2. Submit your A1.ipynb file to your GitHub repository using the web interface like you did in assignment 0.

That's it! There's no need to send us anything—we already know your username from assignment 0. Note that your A1.ipynb should be committed and pushed to origin before the deadline.
