A common use-case for dictionaries is to store word counts. Let's modify our program below to store the count for each unique word. Let's name the dictionary word_counts. This means you need to initialize the count value to 1 for a particular word if you see it for the first time (i.e., it's not already in word_counts) and update the count (by adding 1 to it) if the word is already present in word_counts.
# Code here
# open the file
f = open("words.txt")
# read the text and store in variable
text = ________
# initialize a dictionary
word_counts = ________
# populate the dictionary with words and their associated counts in the text
# for each word in the text (split by spaces)
# if we haven't seen it
# initialize it in the dictionary to a value of 1
# otherwise
# update the count by 1
# print out the word counts
