Lecture 17

Module: Lec17_movie_actors_most_busy — Use sets to find unique movies.

Code:

'''
Short program to demonstrate using a set as a value within a dictionary. 
For this example, we generate a movies dictionary where the keys are actor names
and the values are sets of movies with which they were associated. We then interrogate 
the dictionary to find out who is the busiest actor in unique movies.
'''
imdb_file = input("Enter the name of the IMDB file ==> ").strip()
print(imdb_file)

'''
Generate the first dictionary by parsing the lines of the input file. Take
the actors name as the key and add the movie name into the set of movies
that the actor was associated with. 
'''
movies = dict()
for line in open(imdb_file, encoding = "ISO-8859-1"):
    words = line.strip().split('|')

        movies[name].add(movie)
    else:
        movies[name] = set()
        movies[name].add(movie)
'''
Now go through the dictionary and see how many actors appeared in only one
unique movie and which actor was busiest based on associations with unique
movies.
'''

    movie_ct = len(movies[name])

Module: Lec17_movie_actors_appearances — Demonstrate conversion between dictionaries

Code:

'''
Short program to demonstrate converting from one dictionary to another. For this 
example, we start bt generating a movies dictionary where the keys are actor names
and the values are sets of movies with which they were associated. We turn that
into a second dictionary of occurrence frequency where the keys are a number
and the values are a list of the actors that have appeared in that number of movies
'''
imdb_file = input("Enter the name of the IMDB file ==> ").strip()
print(imdb_file)

'''
Generate the first dictionary by parsing the lines of the input file. Take
the actors name as the key and add the movie name into the set of movies
that the actor was associated with. 
'''
movies = dict()
for line in open(imdb_file, encoding = "ISO-8859-1"):
    words = line.strip().split('|')
    name = words[0].strip()
    movie = words[1].strip()
    
    if name in movies:
        movies[name].add(movie)
    else:
        movies[name] = set()
        movies[name].add(movie)

'''
Now cycle through the movies dictionary to get the data for a new dictionary. This
time, for every actor, we calculate how many movies they were associated with by
taking the length of the set indicated by movies[name]. This length becomes a 
key in the actors dictionary where everyone who is associated with length number of
movies is stored in a list.
'''
actors = dict()
for name in movies:
    movie_ct = len(movies[name])
    if movie_ct not in actors:
        actors[movie_ct] = []
        actors[movie_ct].append(name)
    else:
        actors[movie_ct].append(name)

'''
Sort the actors dictionary from highest (most number of movies) to lowest 
(least number of movies). Print out the top 25 actors by number of movies 
they are associated with.
'''
keys = sorted(actors, reverse=True)
i = 0

'''
Testing code for Computer Science 1, Lecture 21 on sorting. This
assumes that the sort functions are all in file lec21_sorts.py, each taking
one list as its only argument, and that their names are sel_sort
ins_sort merge_sort

All tests are based on random permutations of integers.

. In most of our tests, these permutations are completely random,
  meaning that a value is equally likely to end up anywhere in the
  list.

. In the final test we will explore the implications of working
  with lists that are "almost sorted" by only moving values a small
  distance from the correct location.  You can see that insertion sort
  is very fast in this case by removing the # char in front of
  generate_local_perm
