+'''
+This task will choose for the player a word that will be the secret word for the guess,
+from a text file containing a list of words separated by spaces.
+
+Write a function called choose_word defined as follows:
+
+def choose_word(file_path, index):
+The function accepts as parameters:
+
+A string (file_path) representing a path to the text file.
+An integer (index) representing the position of a certain word in the file.
+The function returns a tuple consisting of two members in the following order:
+
+The number of different words in the file, i.e. not including repeated words.
+A word in the position received as an argument to the function (index), which will be used as the secret word for guessing.
+Guidelines
+Treat the positions the player enters as starting from 1 (rather than zero).
+If the position (index) is greater than the number of words in the file, the function
+continues to count positions in a circular fashion (that is, returns to the first position
+in the original list of words in the file and God forbid).
+An example of a text file that contains a list of words, called words.txt
+hangman song most broadly is a song hangman work music work broadly is typically
+Examples of running the choose_word function with the words.txt file
+>>> choose_word(r"c:\words.txt", 3)
+(9, 'most')
+>>> choose_word(r"c:\words.txt", 15)
+(9, 'hangman')
