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.

A sample file is named (Movies.txt). The program reads this file which has labeled columns separated by commas. Every row of this text file includes information about a movie. You are asked to read every row as a string and decompose the given information (separated by commas).

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').

- In 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_forwardC-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_forward2.

- 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.

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
