Hint: See Program 7-15 read_list.py for example of reading a file's contents into a list and using a loop to strip each Here is the high-level algorithm open BoyNames.text for reading read all lines into a list close the file while there are elements in list strip the from each element open GirlNames.txt for reading read all lines into a list close file while there are elements in list strip from each element get user input for boy get user input for girl display result for boy's name entered by user (you need a decision structure as output depends on user input) display result for girl's name entered by user (you need a decision structure as output depends on user input)

Input: a boy's name, a girl's name, or 'N' for none Output: messages indicating whether the names were among the most popular

Note: Use a try/except to catch IOError as anytime we deal with external files, problems may occur (file doesn't exist, we don't have permissions, disk is corrupted, and so on).

Sample Input/Output

IMPORTANT NOTE: The external files MUST be in same directory as your source code.

You may run your code on the command line/system prompt (as I have done) OR from IDLE (Run->Run Module or F5).

Here is first run showing output when user input for both boy and girl are popular names (user input shown in italics/bold ).

 Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: Michael Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Emma Michael is one of the most popular boy's names. Emma is one of the most popular girl's names. 

Here is a second run where user says 'N' to entering names

$ python babyname.py Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: N Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: N You chose not to enter a boy's name. You chose not to enter a girl's name. 

Here is third run showing user input with a girl name not in the GirlNames.txt file:

$ python babyname.py Enter a boy's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a boy's name: John Enter a girl's name, or N if you do not wish to enter a girl's name: Ada John is one of the most popular boy's names. Ada is not one of the most popular girl's names.

Note: We will test code with THREE sample runs:

• First run uses the names Michael and Emma (see sample run above)
• Second run user enters N for both of the prompts (answer N for boys and N for girls)
• Third run we enter names of our choice but at least one is NOT popular
