Create X Number of Variables and Assign Data

[Pedroski55]

What happens if a word repeats? What about punctuation? Lose the punctuation?

I think there are already modules for doing this kind of thing.

from collections import Counter
sentence = "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Jack is a dull boy. Work makes him dull."
words = sentence.split()
wordCount = Counter(words)

Output:
Counter({'Jack': 2, 'a': 2, 'dull': 2, 'boy.': 2, 'All': 1, 'work': 1, 'and': 1, 'no': 1, 'play': 1, 'makes': 1, 'is': 1})

type(wordCount)

Output:
<class 'collections.Counter'>

wordCount['Jack']

Output:
2
