World Series Champions
If you have downloaded the source code you will find a file named WorldSeriesWinners txt in the Chapter 07 folder. This file coma ns a chronological list of the World Series Winning teams from 1903 through 2009. (The first line in the file is the name of the team that won in 1903, and the last line is the name of the team that won in 2009 Note the World Series was not played in 1904 or 1994.)
Write a
Tip:
Read the contents of the WorldSeriesWinners.txt file into a list. When the user enters the name of a team, the program should step through the list, counting the number of times the selected team appears.

1994 Weekly Gas GraphIn the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 1994_Weekly_Gas_Averages.txt. The file contains the average gas price for each week in the year 1994.(There are 52 lines in the file.) Using matplotlib, write a Python program that reads thecontents of the file then plots the data as either a line graph or a bar chart. Be sure to displaymeaningful labels along the X and Y axes, as well as the tick marks.

A Personal Fitness Tracker is a wearable device that tracks your physical activity, calories burned, heart rate, sleeping patterns, and so on. One common physical activity that most of these devices track is the number of steps you take each day. The steps.txt file contains the number of steps a person has taken each day for a year. There are 365 lines in the file, and each line contains the number of steps taken during a day. (The first line is the number of steps taken on January 1st, the second line is the number of steps taken on January 2nd, and so forth.) Write a program that reads the file, then displays the average number of steps taken for each month. (The data is from a year that was not a leap year, so February has 28 days.)
You don't need to see the file , Just write a code using the "file" like this
def main(): with open("steps.txt", "r") as file:
