Question

The following code to run as the described program on python. The extra test file isn't included here, assume it is a text file named "TXT" with a series of numbers for this purpose.

In this lab you will need to take a test file

Your program must include:

• Write a python program to open the test file provided. You will read in the numbers contained in the file and provide a total for the numbers as well as the largest and smallest number you encounter. Note: one method to keep track of the largest and smallest number is to include a pair of if statements in your loop reading in the file. If you encounter a number larger than the largest you have seen so far, replace the "largest" with the new value. You can handle the "smallest" in a similar fashion. You will need a variable to keep track of the largest and smallest numbers you encounter. No values in the test file will be smaller than zero or larger than 10000.
• Output a message with the total, largest and smallest numbers as well as a count of how many numbers were read in.
• Output a message to the user thanking them from using your program that includes your first and last name.

Answer 1

Code

def fileoperations():
    fname=input("First Name")
    lname=input("Last name")
    file1 = open('TXT', 'r')
    Lines = file1.readlines()
    myList=[]
    count=0
    total=0
    for line in Lines:
        myList.append(int(line))
        count+=1
        total+=int(line)
    print ("Elements in the file: " + str(myList))
    print("TOTAL: " + str(total) + " MAX: " + str(max(myList)) + " MIN: " + str(min(myList)) + " Count: " + str(count))
    print ("Thank you " + fname + " " + lname +" for using the program." )
fileoperations()

Output
