Find all occurrences of the word “the” in a given text.

Assignment

Write a function find_the_the that takes the location of a text file (str). The function must return a list containing all occurrences of “the” as a separate word in the given text file. No distinction must be made between uppercase and lowercase letters. Make sure that you do not include the combination “the” when it occurs as part of another word (e.g., “thesaurus” or “ether”).

Example
