Code this in python

In this assignment we are going to practice reading from a file and writing the results of your program into a file.

We are going to write a program to help Professor X automate the grade calculation for a course. Professor X has a data file that contains one line for each student in the course. The students name is the first thing on each line, followed by some tests scores. The number of scores might be different for each student. Here is an example of what a typical data file may look like:

Joe 10 15 20 30 40 Bill 23 16 19 22 Sue 8 22 17 14 32 17 24 21 2 9 11 17 Grace 12 28 21 45 26 10 John 14 32 25 16 89

Program details

Write a program that:

• Ask the user to enter the name of the data file.

• Read the data from the file and for each student calculate the total of the test scores, how many tests the student took, and the average of the test scores.

• Save the results in an output file (e.g. stats.txt) in the following order:

  • studentName totalScore numberOfTests testAverage
  • Note that the average is saved with 2 decimal places after the decimal point.

• Validation: Make sure your program does not crash if a file is not found or cannot be open.

Here is what a typical output file may look like (this one is based on the sample input file above):

Joe 115 5 23.00 Bill 80 4 20.00 Sue 194 12 16.17 Grace 142 6 23.67 John 176 5 35.20

Below are some sample runs:

Enter name of the data file: studentData.txt Stats have been save in the output file

Enter name of the data file: data.txt Error: that file does not exist. Try again. Enter name of the data file: students.txt Error: that file does not exist. Try again. Enter name of the data file: studentData.txt Stats have been save in the output file

Notes:

• The purpose of this problem is to practice using file input/output.
• Please make sure to submit a well-written program. Good identifier names, useful comments, and spacing will be some of the criteria that will be used when grading this assignment.
• This assignment can be and must be solved using only the materials that have been discussed in class. Do not look for alternative methods that have not been covered as part of this course.
