Ronaldo
10400
Didier
9800
12300
Kaka
8400
Cristiano
8000
Write a function named getHighScore that takes a string reference parameter and an integer reference parameter. The function should scan through the file and set the reference parameters to the name of the player with the highest score and the corresponding score.

Design a program that reads a file called sales.txt containing the following data:
Jane, 215.5,445.5,910.0
John, 825.0,250.5,675.0
Bill,0.0,999.15
Each line has a employee's name and their weekly sales totals all separated by commas. Some employees have taken vacation some weeks so no numbers are
captured for those weeks. Create a function that takes a list of floats and returns the average value for those numbers. After reading the information from the file,
use a for loop to calculate the sales average using your new average function for each employee and display the following output to the screen.
Jane, average sales: 523.67
John, average sales: 583.50
Bill, average sales: 499.56
In C++, my program reads from a file, each line of the text file ends in a 1 or 0. How do you make a function that updates the value in the text file to change to from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1?

- Computer Science In C++ can someone make a code where it reads a txt file and displays the text file that has pending shipping orders. I would also like the code to be able to modify the text file in terms of canceling shipping orders or view shipping orders.arrow_forwardprogram5_3.pyWrite a program about triangles. You need two files, a module file and an executable file with a main method. Include Psudocode to explain your code. The module file (defines two functions): One function that takes the three sides of a triangle as arguments. It returns True if the sides define a right triangle and False if it doesn't. HINT: This is easiest with a Math module function. The other function must use Heron's Formula to calculate and return the area of a triangle. Learn about Heron's formula online. The main file:Prompt the user to enter the three sides (longest first) of the triangle. Use integers only. Make sure that no side is longer than the sum of the other two sides. Call the function that returns a boolean and use it to output whether the triangle is a right triangle, or not. Call the function that returns the area. Display the value returned with two decimal places.

Given a text file containing the availability of food items, write a program that reads the information from the text file and outputs the available food items. The program first reads the name of the text file from the user. The program then reads the text file, stores the information into four separate lists, and outputs the available food items in the following format: name (category) -- description Assume the text file contains the category, name, description, and availability of at least one food item, separated by a tab character ('\t'). (Examples in image)arrow_forwardIn Python Write a program that consists of (at least) two function: A function that creates and saves data in a file. The saved data represents exam grades. In the function, you will create n random numbers in the range [0,100], where n is the number of students. The function can be called as follows: createFile(filename, n) Main function, in which the user inputs the file name and the number of students, then the main calls function createFile. The main should perform validation for n (should be > 0), and the filename (should end with .txt). I will explain how to validate strings in the coming lecture. Hint: a good developer will write four functions to solve the problem.arrow_forward
- C-programming Create a solution that calculates statistics on students' performance data. Write an application where user can enter the course, semester, number of students n and then n records of student and their test grade. This data should be saved to a binary file. Then a second application should read data from that binary file and let the user enter a filter of a course. That application then filters out the data for just that event course, sorts it by grades in descending order and saves it to an HTML file.arrow_forwardFile names: color_square.py, chessboard.py, test_squares.py Positions on a chess board are identified by a letter and a number. The letter identifies the column; the number identifies the row. See the image below. You will provide the functions that allow us to determine: if a chessboard square is either black or white, given its coordinates. If the row/column is valid or not for the standard chessboard For example, if we pass in “d” for the column and 4 for the row, your function that determines color should return the string: “BLACK”. If we pass in "k" for the column to your function that validates columns, that function should return the boolean False. Requirements: Your function for validating the column should be able to accept upper or lowercase strings as parameters. Your functions for validating the row should be able to accept integers or strings as parameters. Your function that determines black-or-white may assume that the input has been validated prior to us calling…arrow_forward2. The manager of a basketball stadium wants you to write a program that calculates the total ticket sales after each game. There are four types of tickets – box, sideline, premium, and general admission. After each game, data is stored in a file in the following forms: ticketPrice numberOfTicketsSold Sample data are shown below: 250 5750 100 28000 50 35750 25 18750 The first line indicates that the box ticket price is 250 pesos and that 5750 Tickets were sold at that price. Output the number of the tickets sold and the total sale amount. Format your output with two decimal places.arrow_forward
- Task: Loading data from files This exercise will require you to load some information from files and use it in your program. scene.txt contains a description of a series of shapes and colours to draw. You need to write code to read in the file data and draw the requested shapes in the correct colour. Each line in scene.txt will contain one of the following starting keywords followed by some data: COLOUR followed by 3 values: R, G, B CIRCLE followed by 3 values: X, Y, RADIUS RECT Followed by 4 values: X, Y, W, H LINE Followed by 4 values: X1, Y1, X2, Y2 CIRCLES are defined from the center. RECT's are defined from the top left. All values are space separated, and you can assume all input is correct (no errors). Please solve this program to draw the scene. I can't upload the file scene.txt, so I decide to screenshot a file for you. Subject: Java Programmingarrow_forwardThis is an example of the Maze project framework, it is not a working project.

In 1840 this shrewd industrialist founded a postal service between Liverpool and Halifax, featuring three wooden ships with 400-horsepower paddle wheels and a burden of 1,162 metric tons. Eight years later, the company's assets were increased by four 650-horsepower ships at 1,820 metric tons, and in two more years, by two other vessels of still greater power and tonnage. In 1853 the Cunard Co., whose mail-carrying charter had just been renewed, successively added to its assets the Arabia, the Persia, the China, the Scotia, the Java, and the Russia, all ships of top speed and, after the Great Eastern, the biggest ever…arrow_forward
