Chapter 7, Problem 9PE
Program Plan Intro
Population data
Program plan:
- • Declare a function named “main()”. Inside the function,
- ○ Use the “try…except” block to read the population from the file.
- ○ Create a file object “fileObj” for the file “USPopulation.txt”
- ○ Now, read the populations from the file and store it in “populationList” and close the file.
- ○ Use a “for” loop to convert the populations into “float” type.
- ○ Create an empty list “populationChange” to hold the changes in the population.
- ○ Now, use the “for” loop to find the population change for the successive years and store it in “populationChange”.
- ○ Call the function “max()” to find the greatest population change.
- ○ Call the function “index()” to find the position of the greatest population change.
- ○ Call the function “min()” to find the lowest population change.
- ○ Call the function “index()” to find the position of the lowest population change.
- ○ Then, call the function “sum()” to find the sum of the population changes in the “populationChange”.
- ○ Find the average annual change.
- ○ Now, print the average annual change, greatest population change year, and lowest population change year using the “print()” function.
- ○ Handle the exceptions if any occurred using the “except” blocks.
- • In the last, call the function “main()” to execute the program.

5. Charge Account Validation
If you have downloaded the source code from the Computer Science Portal you will find
a file named charge_accounts.txt in the Chapter 07 folder. This file has a list of a com-
pany's valid charge account numbers. Each account number is a seven-digit number, such
as 5658845.
Programming Exercises 403
program
Write a program that reads the contents of the file into a list. The program should then
ask the user to enter a charge account number. The program should determine whether
the number is valid by searching for it in the list. If the number is in the list, the
should display a message indicating the number is valid. If the number is not in the list, the
program should display a message indicating the number is invalid.

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.

If you have downloaded the source code from this book’s companion Web site, you will find a file named USPopulation.txt in the Chapter 07 folder. The file contains the midyear population of the United States, in thousands, during the years 1950 through 1990. The first line in the file contains the population for 1950, the second line contains the population for 1951, and so forth.Write a program that reads the file’s contents into a list. The program should display the following data:• The average annual change in population during the time period• The year with the greatest increase in population during the time period• The year with the smallest increase in population during the time period(You can access the book’s companion Web site at www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/gaddis.)

- Command Program Create a program that allows you to view and edit the sales amounts for each month of the current year. This program is required to use commands add, view, totals, edit, and exit. The program should use a list to store the sales data for each month with the three-letter abbreviation for the month (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, and Dec) to use as the key for each item. When the program starts, it should read the sales data inserted from the user. If the user edits the sales data, the program should edit the data If the user selects total, then the program should calculate the total sales and average monthly sales. Use functions to view sales, edit sales, calculate total, and calculate average.
