Computer Programming $-$ GENG $230$

Project $1-$ Fall $2024$

Write a Python program that reads data from the file "beams.txt$".$ This file contains information about several beams used in a construction project. Each line in the file includes a beam's ID$,$ length $($in meters$),$ width $($in meters$),$ and height $($in meters$),$ separated by commas. The text file can be found on Blackboard in the same post. The program should perform the following tasks:

Print the title "Beam Dimensions and Properties" inside a bounding box using a function similar to boxString $0$ as demonstrated in Chapter $5.$

Display a formatted table with each beam's ID$,$ length, width, height, cross$-$sectional area $($width $*$ height$),$ and volume $($length $*$ width $*$ height$).$ Additionally, display the total volume of all beams at the end of the table.

Identify and mark the beam with the largest and smallest volume in the table generated in the previous part.

Calculate the number of beams with a cross$-$sectional area above and below the average cross$-$sectional area. Write a function called count$\_$beams$\_$by$\_$cross$\_$section $()$ that takes a list of all cross$-$sectional areas as input and returns a tuple with two values: the number of beams with an above$-$average cross$-$sectional area and the number of beams with a below$-$average cross$-$sectional area.

Organize your program using the main $()$ function.

Notes

The deadline for the project is Monday November $4,2024.$

Submit only your Python file to Blackboard. Other forms of files will not be accepted.

Late submissions will not be accepted.

Do not submit by email, as it will not be accepted.

If your submission contains a code you did not write on your own or using AI tools, you will receive a reward of $0$please make it easier snd the code slightly different
