Animal.txt
January 12, 2021
Today’s task is from a beginning programmer, who starts with an input file called animal.txt:
There once was a Dog Wednesday he ate Apples Thursday he ate Apples Friday he ate Apples Saturday he ate carrots There once was a Bear Tuesday he ate carrots Wednesday he ate carrots Thursday he ate chicken
He wants to create this output:
Food: Apples Animals who ate it: 1 ======= Dog Food: Carrots Animals who ate it: 2 ======== Bear Dog Food: Chicken Animals who ate it: 1 ======== Bear
He gave a complicated awk solution that didn’t work; it produced duplicate lines of output in those cases
where the same animal ate the same food on multiple days.
Your task is to write a program to produces the desired transformation form input to output. When
you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or
discuss the exercise in the comments below.
