This week's lab is a helpful stepping stone for your next project. $($You almost certainly will not use this lab's function directly in your next project, but it will get you thinking in the right way for one part of that project.$)$ Write a function called "char$\_$count$()",$ which takes one string as input: the name of a text file. char$\_$count$()$ returns the number of characters in the file. You must include the newline $("$

$")$ and tab $("\backslash$t$")$ characters in the count$--$note that these each only count as one character, not two.

You can use the provided files $($Beatles$.$txt$,$ Snipping$2.$txt$,$ Snipping$3.$txt$)$ and$/$or your own text files to test.

Important note: You must:

Put a docstring in every function

Use meaningful variable names throughout $($except that you may use $1-$letter variable names for formal parameters and$/$or loop control variables$).$

We will be giving some of the points for this.
