with the file i/o operation now “lifted” into a subroutine for safer encapsulation (to avoid scope errors, etc.) and to avoid the confusing clutter of copying and pasting such a large block of code repeatedly that would be required otherwise. By now, this has hopefully made a convincing case for why subroutines are a big deal in the evolution of software engineering constructs (and the computer languages that implement them). Further discussion is given in the comments in the code.

      To do the computation for Figure 3.1, the next subroutine (prog2.py addendum 3) is a recycled version of the code for the dinucleotide counter described previously (prog1.py addendum 6), except that now the two bases in the sample window have a fixed gap size between them of the indicated size. Before, with no gap, the gapsize was zero.
