Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 12, Problem 13RQE
Explanation of Solution
The below member functions are used to move the read or write file pointer at any byte in the specified file.
- seekp()
- seekg().
Difference between “seekp” and “seekg” member functions:
| seekp | seekg |
| The seekp stands for “seek put”. The seekp() function is used to move the file-access pointer anywhere in the file before invoking the put functions. |
The seekg stands for “seek get”. The seekg() function is used to move the file-access pointer anywhere in the file before invoking the get functions... |

That is, the keys are lake names and the values will be TLI3 values. Notes: You will need to have import math as your first line of code. You must include and use/call the trophic_level_index function that you wrote in Question 1. trophic_level_index must still work as specified in Question 1. Lakes should be added to the dictionary in the same order as they appear in the readings list. If a lake appears in the readings list more than once, then the TLI for the last occurrence in the readings list should be the one that appears in the result. (This should happen naturally, since the lake name can only occur in the dictionary once.) For example: Test Result names_cnp_1 = [('Lake Brunner', 0.8, 218.0, 6.0), ('Lake Carrot', 5.1, 505.0, 18.5) ] tli3_dict = lake_to_tli3_dict(names_cnp_1 ) print(tli3_dict)…arrow_forward
