NLTK corpus: Find the number of male and female names in the names corpus

NLTK corpus: Exercise-11 with Solution

Write a Python NLTK program to find the number of male and female names in the names corpus. Print the first 10 male and female names.

Note: The names corpus contains a total of around 2943 male (male.txt) and 5001 female (female.txt) names. It’s compiled by Kantrowitz, Ross.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from nltk.corpus import names 
print("\nNumber of male names:")
print (len(names.words('male.txt')))
print("\nNumber of female names:")
print (len(names.words('female.txt')))
male_names = names.words('male.txt')
female_names = names.words('female.txt')
print("\nFirst 10 male names:")
print (male_names[0:15])
print("\nFirst 10 female names:")
print (female_names[0:15])

Sample Output:

Number of male names:
2943

Number of female names:
5001

First 10 male names:
['Aamir', 'Aaron', 'Abbey', 'Abbie', 'Abbot', 'Abbott', 'Abby', 'Abdel', 'Abdul', 'Abdulkarim', 'Abdullah', 'Abe', 'Abel', 'Abelard', 'Abner']

First 10 female names:
['Abagael', 'Abagail', 'Abbe', 'Abbey', 'Abbi', 'Abbie', 'Abby', 'Abigael', 'Abigail', 'Abigale', 'Abra', 'Acacia', 'Ada', 'Adah', 'Adaline']

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
