- Write a program that opens a file me.txt and write your first name followed by a space followed by your last name, then your major on the second line. If the file does not exist, create it. If the file exists, have the file's contents be erased before writing your name. Be sure to close the file after. Example: Barack Obama Political Science Majorarrow_forwardThe objective of this problem is to show that you can write a program that reads a text file and uses string methods to manipulate the text. File cart.txt contains shopping cart type data from golfsmith.com representing the gifts you have purchased for your dad for this past Fathers Day. Good for you. You have been very generous! The first item in each row of the file is the part number, the second the quantity, the third the price and the fourth the description. Your program will read the file line by line and compute the total cost of all of the items in the list. You will then display a message that looks like this, assuming the cost of each item adds up to 168.42: Here's what your output should look like: The total price for the awesome Fathers Day gifts you bought is $168.42. The shopping cart can be found here: cart.txt. Right click on the link and save the file to the folder where you have your Python files.arrow_forwardWrite a program that queries information from three files(given to you). The first file contains the names and telephone numbers of a group of people. The second file contains the names and Social Security numbers of a group of people. The third file contains the names and annual income of a group of people. The groups of people should overlap. Your program should ask the user for a telephone number and then print the name, Social Security number, and annual income, if it can determine that information. Sample run1: Enter the phone number (7 digits, with a dash): 555-1234 555-1234 is associated with Bob Bob's SSN is 000300021 Bob's salary is 55000 Sample run2: Enter the phone number (7 digits, with a dash): 675-4566 Couldn't find a name associated with that number. Sample run3: Enter the phone number (7 digits, with a dash): 000-2345 000-2345 is associated with John John's SSN is 000000004 John's salary is 65000 python languagearrow_forward
- Create a text file of names, (3 names per line, 5 lines in total) followed by an age for each name. Go through the file and sum the ages. Create an output file with each persons name followed by age and then a line at the end of the output file that says “sum of all ages is: x”. Simple Java programming. Should include things like bufferedReader, fileReader, printWriter, fileWriter, file close, try-with-resources, Scanner, catch/try, etc. Include Java file and txt file. Thank you.arrow_forwardWrite a program that reads student information from a text file, then creates a text file that records the course grades of the students and a final grade. Each row of the .txt file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score, and the Final score of a student, each separated by a space. A sample of the student information is provided in StudentInfo.txt below. Assume the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20. The program performs the following tasks: • Read the file name of the .txt file from the user. • Open the .txt file and read the student information using readline() or readlines(). • 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 • Output the first names, last names, exam scores, and letter…arrow_forwardIn a text file, I have two numbers each line. The numbers are the employee ID and the number of hours the employee work. My goal of this program is to read the both employee ID and the number of hours the employee work and print it out in the main program. If the list of employee id is not in order, sort it in order and still print it out in the main program. Additionally, after printing them out, print out the total number of employees and the total number of hours all the employee work. Write this in java For example File.txt EmployeeID Number of Hours Work 3 12 2 20 1 40 5 20 7 9 In the main program print: EmployeeID Number of Hours Work 1 40 2 20 3 12 5 20 7 9arrow_forward
- Write a program that does the following: Reads information from a text file into a list of sublists. Be sure to ask the user to enter the file name and end the program if the file doesn’t exist. Text file format will be as shown, where each item is separated by a comma and a space:ID, firstName, lastName, birthDate, hireDate, salary Store the information into a list of sublists called empRoster. EmpRoster will be a list of sublists, where each sublist contains the information for one employee.The birthDate and hireDate in file are strings, but should be stored as objects of type Date.Example of EmpRoster list with 2 employees:[ [111,”Joe”, “Jones”, “09-01-1980”,”10-19-1999”, 95000], \ [222, “Sam”, “Smith”, “07-10-1956”,, “01-01-2000”, 50000] ] Print a report that shows the following: Employee RosterID First Name Last Name Birth Date Age Hire Date YrsWorked Salary WRITE the following information out to a text file…arrow_forwardWrite a program that asks any number of students to enter their final grade and enables you to store these grades into a grades.txt plain text file. Then it reads the grades from the grades.txt file, and displays the individual grades and their count and average.arrow_forwardIn this assignment, you will create a Java program to read undergraduate and graduate students from an input file, sort them, and write them to an output file. This assignment is a follow up of assignment 5. Like assignment 5, your program will read from an input file and write to an output file. The input file name and the output file name are passed in as the first and second arguments at command line, respectively. Unlike assignment 5, the Student objects are sorted before they are written to the output file. • The program must implement a main class, three student classes (Student, UndergradStudent, GradStudent), and a Comparator class called StudentIDComparator. • The StudentIDComparator class must implement the java.util.Comparator interface, and override the compare() method. Since the Comparator interface is a generic interface, you must specify Student as the type parameter when defining the StudentIDComparator class, i.e., public class StudentIDComparator implements…arrow_forward
- In this project, you will develop algorithms that find road routes through the bridges to travel between islands. The input is a text file containing data about the given map. Each file begins with the number of rows and columns in the map considered as maximum latitudes and maximum longitudes respectively on the map. The character "X" in the file represents the water that means if a cell contains "X" then the traveler is not allowed to occupy that cell as this car is not drivable on water. The character "0" in the file represents the road connected island. That means if a cell contains "0" then the traveler is allowed to occupy that cell as this car can drive on roads. The traveler starts at the island located at latitude = 0 and longitude = 0 (i.e., (0,0)) in the upper left corner, and the goal is to drive to the island located at (MaxLattitude-1, MaxLongitudes-1) in the lower right corner. A legal move from an island is to move left, right, up, or down to an immediately adjacent…arrow_forwardIn this project, you will develop algorithms that find road routes through the bridges to travel between islands.

Each line of the file will be a person's name, the time they arrived at the professor's office, and the amount of time they want to meet with the professor. These entries will be sorted by the time the person arrived. Your program must then print out a schedule for the day, printing each person's arrival, and printing when each person goes in to meet with the professor. You need to print the events in order of the time they happen. In other words, your output will be sorted by the arrival times and the times the person goes into the professor's office. In your output you need to print out a schedule. In the schedule, new students go to the end of the line. Whenever the professor is free, the professor will either meet with the first person in line, or meet with the first person in line if nobody is waiting. Assume no two people arrive at the same time. You should solve this problem using a stack and a queue. You can only…arrow_forward
