Python - Next Birthdate
In this task, we will write a program that reads birthdate data from a given CSV file, and given the current date, determines which person's birthday will be celebrated next.
Create a function with the following signature:
nextBirthdate(filename, date)
filename: parameter, which represents the CSV filename.
date: parameter, which represents the current date.
The function should open the CSV file, read the birthdate data, and determine which person's birthday will be celebrated next, given the current date. The name of the person should be returned. In other words, given a date, find the person whose birthday is next.
Sample Run
birthdates.csv

PROGRAM NEEDS TO MATCH EXAMPLE PHOTO
Write a program ( lab6.cpp ) that gives and takes advice on program writing. The program starts by writing a piece of advice to the screen and asking the user to type in a different piece of advice. The program then ends. The next person to run the program receives the advice given by the person who last ran the program. The advice is kept in a file, and the contents of the file change after each run of the program. You can use your editor to enter the initial piece of advice in the file so that the first person who runs the program receives some advice. Allow the user to type in advice of any length so that it can be any number of lines long. The user is told to end his or her advice by pressing the Return key two times. Your program can then test to see that it has reached the end of the input by checking to see when it reads two consecutive occurrences of the character ‘\n’.
Hints:- You need to look at each character as it is read to see if it is…

- The python function get_second_line takes one parameter, fname, the name of a text file. The function should open the file for reading, determine the second line of the file, close the file, and return the second line (a string).

For each sentence in the quote, the program should prompt for the length of the sentence and then read in that number of words from the keyboard. At the end of each sentence add a period ("") and go to the next line. After all of the words in the quote are read, then print the quote to the screen. For example: Number of sentences: 4 Enter length: 3 Roses are red. > Violets are blue. > There is no try. > Just do not or do.arrow_forwardin pythonarrow_forward
- Slide Type Slide • Exercise # 4 A hotel salesperson enters sales in a text file. Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons: • The name of the client, the service sold (such as Dinner, Conference, Lodging, and so on), • The amount of the sale, and the date of that event. • Write a program that reads such a file and displays the total amount for each service category. Display an error if the file does not exit or the format of the record is incorrect. No need to display anything else in this regard. Note that you can assume that the dates are entered correctly (no need to validate them). You may also assume that the name of the input text file is inputex4.txt. • Make sure you use a dictionary in your solution. • Sample run is included below for the given input file inputex4.txt Summary of total sales according to services Dinner 634.75 Conference 1133.25 Lodging Dinner and Lodging 550.25 625.14 Slide Tyne Fragment varrow_forwardB3 Write a program that reads a file and find out the total uppercase, lowercase, whitespaces and digits occurred in the file.arrow_forwardWrite code that opens an output file with the filename number_list.txt, but does not erase the file’s contents if it already exists.arrow_forward

- What is the most effective method for updating a string that is already present in a file?arrow_forwardInside Files (Use Python) Write a program that accepts an integer input, opens a file, and analyzes what and how many types of words are there in a line within the opened file. PROGRAM DESIGNThe program should be able to accept an integer input. This program should be able to open and read a file called tweets2.txt. The integer input represents the order of the line (from 1st to 5th line), within the tweets2.txt file. The program should be able to count how many stopwords, common words, unique words, and overall words are there in the line number input. In Natural Language Processing (NLP), stopwords are defined to be words with no meaning when left alone and with no context. For this activity, stopwords are words that are at most, 3 characters in length, with common words having more than 3 characters. Unique words are words, within the line, that don’t have any duplicates. Whereas overall words are the over all count of all words within the line. The program should also be able to…arrow_forward1.
