‘E’ and starting with ‘T’ respectively. And display the Total count separately.
For example: if REPORT.TXT consists of
“ENTRY LEVEL OF PROGRAMMING CAN BE LEARNED FROM

18. Write a method/function SHOW_TODO() in python to read contents from a text

file ABC.TXT and display those lines which have occurrence of the word ‘‘TO’’ or
‘‘DO’’.
For example : If the content of the file is
