""" Purpose: introduce CS 1112 module url

there is a module called url.py. we have a function in that module called get_contents() that does a lot of
yucky processing for us to hand back a string of whatever is on a website url that you provide
we'll learn how to write cool functions too :)

**this module is fair game for test 1 on Monday 9/27**

do not make a new folder for the exam. move past code that is no longer relevant to a subfolder if you need
more organization, but don't start a new folder or project because it can mess up the interpreter and we like
to avoid stress

# get access to web-based data support
import url # import is a new keyword for us. it tells python we want to access code from a different .py file
# ** URL.PY MUST BE IN YOUR CS 1112 PROJECT FOLDER **

# set data web folder location
WORDS_WEB_FOLDER = "http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~cs1112/datasets/words/" # this will be provided
# this is the base location that we are interested in, will always end in a / (not part of folder name)
# set file name
file_name = "word-of-the-day" # this is a special file in the words folder

# specify link
link = WORDS_WEB_FOLDER + file_name
print( "link:", link ) # never hurts to check that your link is working!
# link anatomy is going to be the base location + the specific file name, use + not a ,

# read web page
contents = url.get_contents( link )
# Professor Cohoon wrote a function called get_contents() that will hand back whatever is at that link
# this information is handed back as a string!

# clean up
word = contents.strip() # cleaning up a string could mean many things, but strip() rarely hurts

# reveal word
print( word )
