Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 16PP
Consider a text file named scores. txt that contains player scores for a game. A possible sample is shown here where Ronaldo’s best score is 10400, Didier’s best score is 9800, etc.
Ronaldo
10400
Didier
9800
12300
Kaka
8400
Cristiano
8000

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
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

- program5_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.

- Code should be in Python. 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_forwardin c++: Assume that you have a text file named file1.dat contains some text written into it, write a function named vowelwords(), that reads the file file1.dat and creates a new file named file2.dat, to contain only those words from the file file1.dat which start with a lowercase vowel (i.e., with 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u').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_forwardC++ Write a program that reads the student information from a tab separated values (tsv) file. The program then creates a text file that records the course grades of the students. Each row of the tsv file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score, and the Final score of a student. A sample of the student information is provided in StudentInfo.tsv. Assume the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20. Assume also the last names and first names do not contain whitespaces. The program performs the following tasks: Read the file name of the tsv file from the user. Open the tsv file and read the student information. Compute the average exam score of each student. Assign a letter grade to each student based on the average exam score in the following scale: A: 90 =< x B: 80 =< x < 90 C: 70 =< x < 80 D: 60 =< x < 70 F: x < 60 Compute the average of each exam.

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_forward
