Read all words into a list

To open and close the file within every function to get the list of words, let's write a helper function getallWords (). The split() function will be useful to achieve this.

def getallwords (filepath):

Returns a list of all words

from the given filepath.

The function opens the file for reading,

and closes the file before returning.

return "stub"

For example, getAllWords ("input1.txt") returns ["hello", "hello", "hello", "world"]; getAllWords ("input2.txt") returns ["hello", "world", "world", "world"].
