Question

The Payroll Department keeps a list of employee information for each pay period in a text file. The format of each line of the file is the following: <last name> <hours worked> <hourly wage>

Write a program that inputs a filename from the user and prints to the terminal a report of the wages paid to the employees for the given period.

The report should be in tabular format with the appropriate header.
Each line should contain:
- An employee’s name
- The hours worked
- The wages paid for that period.
I am stuck on the portion of the problem regarding the producing the output of test file 1:

I entered the following code:

# Get the file name from user

name = input("Enter the file name: ")

# open file in read mode

readFile = open(name, "r")

#Get the file contents through

#readlines method

fileConetent = readFile.readlines()

#Display statement

print("\nName\t\t\tHours\t\tTotalPay");

#Iterate the loop

for eachLine in fileConetent:

#split each line with empty space

splitContent = eachLine.split()

#Get the hourlyWage from file

hourlyWage = float(splitContent[1])

#Get the hoursworked from file

hoursworked = float(splitContent[2])

#calculate the total pay

totalPay = hourlyWage * hoursworked

#Display statement

print("{0:14}\t\t{1:>5}\t\t{2:>9.2f}".format(splitContent[0],splitContent[1],totalPay));

#close the file

readFile.close()

Three out of the 4 areas of the problem are correct but one area is still showing as incorrect. Please help!
