Chapter 7, Problem 13PC
Sorted List of 1994 Gas Prices
Note: This assignment can be done either as an enhancement to the program that you wrote for
In 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. Line 1 contains the average price for week 1, line 2 contains the average price for week 2, and so forth.) Write a program that reads the gas prices from the file, and calculates the average gas price for each month. (To get the average price for a given month, calculate the average of the average weekly prices for that month.) Then, the program should create another file that lists the names of the months, along with each month’s average gas price, sorted from lowest to highest.

15. World Series Champions If you have downloaded this book’s source code (the companion Web site is available at www.pearsonhighered.com/gaddis), you will find a file named WorldSeriesWinners.txt. This file contains a chronological list of the winning teams in the World Series 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 that the World Series was not played in 1904 or 1994, so those years are skipped in the file.) Write a program that lets the user enter the name of a team, and then displays the number of times that team has won the World Series in the time period from 1903 through 2009.
Tip: Read the contents of the WorldSeriesWinners.txt file into an ArrayList. When the user enters the name of a team, the program should step through the ArrayList, counting the number of times the selected team appears

Finish this program from the code posted below! Note: There should be two files Main.py and Contact.py
You will implement the edit_contact function. In the function, do the following:
Ask the user to enter the name of the contact they want to edit.
If the contact exists, in a loop, give them the following choices
Remove one of the phone numbers from that Contact.
Add a phone number to that Contact.
Change that Contact's email address.
Change that Contact's name (if they do this, you will have to remove the key/value pair from the dictionary and re-add it, since the key is the contact’s name. Use the dictionary's pop method for this!)
Stop editing the Contact
Once the user is finished making changes to the Contact, the function should return.

If the row/column is valid or not for the standard chessboard For example, if we pass in “d” for the column and 4 for the row, your function that determines color should return the string: “BLACK”. If we pass in "k" for the column to your function that validates columns, that function should return the boolean False.

- Assignment 5C: Level Map Creator. There are a variety of ways that game developers store their level layouts. One simple method is to associate level elements with certain symbols, and then storing them in a 2D grid inside a text file. We will use our knowledge of 2D arrays to create a very simple Level Map Creator tool. The program should prompt the user to enter a width and height for the level. Then it should initialize a 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol. Afterwards, the user should be given the following options via a menu: 1. Clear Level Re-initialize the 2D array and fill every element with the "*" symbol. 2. Add Platform Prompt the user to enter a starting point and length for the horizontal platform. Replace those elements in the 2D array with the "=" symbol. If the length is longer than the number of columns (or out of bounds), notify the user that this is not possible. 3.

In the last assignment, we calculated the frequency of a coin flip. This required us to have two separate variables, which we used to record the number of heads and tails. Now that we know about arrays, we can track the frequency of all numbers in a randomly generated sequence. For this program, you will ask the user to provide a range of values (from 1 to that number, inclusive) and how long of a number sequence you want to generate using that number range. You will then generate and save the sequence in an array. After that, you will count the number of times each number occurs in the sequence, and print the frequency of each number. Hints: You can use multiple arrays for this assignment. One array should hold the number sequence, and another could keep track of the frequencies of each number. Sample Output #1: What's the highest number you want to generate?: 5 How Long of a number sequence do you want to generate?: 10 Okay, we'll generate 10…arrow_forwardAssignment 5C: Level Map Creator.
