Points In Python's interactive mode

Question 1 of 1

8.0 Points

In Python's interactive mode, I created the following code to 1) build a histogram dictionary for a string and 2) print the characters in the string and their counts in descending order.

Use this string:

>>> text = 'Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.'

and you should get this result:

17
o 10
t 7
e 7
n 4
m 4
i 4
r 3
h 3
d 3
a 3
w 2
l 2
f 2
c 2
y 1
u 1
s 1
g 1
N 1
. 1

The code uses lists, dictionaries, and tuples. Fill in the blanks so that the code works correctly.

>>> __________histogram(somestring):
... char_dict__________dict()
... ____________char in _____________:
... __________= char_dict.get( _________________, 0) + 1
... ___________________char_dict
...
>>> x = histogram(text)
>>> def sort_by_value(somedict):
... char_list = []
... __________________key in __________________:
... char_list.append(( _______________, key))
... ___________________.sort(reverse= _______________)
... for value, key in _____________:
... print( _________________, ___________________)
...
>>> sort_by_value( ______________)
