I'm trying to get ./smile to work before moving on to tweets using just one word as input to check it my words are loading correctly. I structured the first function similar to how it is done in lecture but it doesn't seem to be working. No matter what word I enter, I always receive a neutral face. Any ideas?
`
import nltk
import pdb
class Analyzer():
"""Implements sentiment analysis."""
def __init__(self, positives, negatives):
"""Initialize Analyzer."""
self.positives = set()
self.negatives = set()
#load positive words
positiveWords = open("positive-words.txt", "r")
for line in positiveWords:
if not line.startswith(";") or line.startswith(" "):
self.positives.add(line.rstrip("\n"))
else:
pass
positiveWords.close()
#load negative words
negativeWords = open("negative-words.txt", "r")
for line in negativeWords:
if not line.startswith(";") or line.startswith(" "):
self.negatives.add(line.rstrip("\n"))
else:
pass
negativeWords.close()
def analyze(self, text):
"""Analyze text for sentiment, returning its score."""
if text.lower() in self.positives == True:
return 1
elif text.lower() in self.negatives == True:
return -1
else:
return 0
`
Thanks for your help!
