You are given the following text:

Here are a few facts and definition about the text above:
- Everything is lowercase.
- There are only letters, full stops (
.), and single whitespace characters. - A word is defined as a sequence of letters delimited by either a whitespace or a full stop
.character. - A full stop character is not considered a word. A full stop is never preceded or followed by whitespace.
- Any two words are separated either by a single whitespace character (
dolor sit), or by a full stop with no spaces (elit.sed).
- How many words are there in the text (including duplicates)? (260)
- Which six words occur the most in the text? (non, est, enim, ut, quid, mihi)
- What percentage of the words only occur once? (82% rounded down)
Tips:
- You are free to copy paste the text above as a string in your preferred language; there is no need to read from a file in your code or build something like a REST endpoint
- You can assume that all input text has been cleaned to the above definition; there is no need to worry about parsing for now
- Concentrate on solving for the above text; do not worry about the general case (although you are welcome to discuss how you would handle the general case as you go along)
- Strive to write clear and maintainable code
- Try to avoid simply answering each question in turn - we would ideally want to build something that we can deploy and extend later on
- Treat this as though you are building an actual system that we would like to deploy and extend later on, considering things like testability, rather than simply answering each statistic in turn
