+File Word Count
+================
+
+Write a program that takes a filename and a parameter `n` and prints the `n` most common words in the file, and the count of their occurrences, in descending order.
+
+For example:
+
+		word_stats("article.txt", 5)
+
+		"the", 39
+		"device", 21
+		"start", 14
+		"pidgeon", 9
+		"box", 3
+
+Import the included `article.txt` file and use that to test your program. What are the top 10 words and their frequency?
