Im new to programming and am trying to write a program in Python.

I cannot get the character list to populate into the correct format.

Any help would be appreciated, I have posted my code below.

These are the instructions:

Stage 2

Write the code for functions read_file() and display_characters() as specified above. Add code to call these two functions to ensure they are working correctly. You may write your own read_file() function or you may use the one provided for you (included in the provided file).

the code should output:

but my output is:

This is my code:

##Must modify with your solution. Place your solution and comments in this file.

import random

# Function read_file() - place your own comments here... : )

def read_file(filename):

character_list = [] infile = open(filename, \"r\")

index = 0 line = infile.readline()

# While not end of file reached i.e. empty string not returned from readline method.

while line != '': name = line.strip(' ') line = infile.readline() secret_id = line.strip(' ') line = infile.readline()

# Split line into no battles, no won, no lost, etc. info_list = line.split() is_hero = info_list[0] no_battles = int(info_list[1]) no_won = int(info_list[2]) no_lost = int(info_list[3]) no_drawn = int(info_list[4]) health = int(info_list[5])

# Create new list to store individual character information new_character = [name, secret_id, is_hero, no_battles, no_won, no_lost, no_drawn, health] # Add new character to character_list (creating a list of lists) character_list.append(new_character) # Read next line of file. line = infile.readline()

return character_list

# Function display_characters() - place your own comments here... : )

def display_characters(character_list, display_type): character_list = [] display_type = []

# Determine if to display all characters, only heroes or only villains. # only hero characters to be displayed if display_type == 1: for i in range(len(character_list)): if character_list[i].get_is_hero(): print(\"- \", end=\"\") print(character_list[i], end=\"\") print(\" -\") print(\"---------------------------------------------------\")

# only villain characters to be displayed

elif display_type == 2: for i in range(len(character_list)): if not character_list[i].get_is_hero(): print(\"- \", end=\"\") print(character_list[i], end=\"\") print(\" -\") print(\"---------------------------------------------------\")

# all characters to be displayed

else: for i in range(len(character_list)): print(\"- \", end=\"\") print(character_list[i], end=\"\") print(\" -\") print(\"---------------------------------------------------\") print(\"===================================================\")

#This line will eventually be removed - used for development purposes only.

print(\"In function display_characters()\")### Define list to store character information

character_list = []

display_type = \" \"

#Place your code here

# # Using a for loop to iterate over the list of lists (characters)

# for character in character_list:

# print(character)

# ... or ... We can use a while loop to achieve the same thing :)

index = 0

while index

print(character_list[index])

index = index + 1

for i in range(0, 51):

print(\"=\", end=\"\")

print(\"\")

for i in range(0, 1):

print(\"-\" + format(\"Character (heroes and villains) Summary\", '^49s') + \"-\")

for i in range(0, 51): print(\"=\", end=\"\") print(\"\")

for i in range(0, 1): print(\"-\" + format(\"P W L D Health \", '>49s') + \"-\")

for i in range(0, 51): print(\"-\", end=\"\") print(\"\")

for i in range(0, 1): for i in len(character_list): print(\"-\" + format(character_list[0], '>49s') + \"-\")

for i in range(0, 51): print(\"-\", end=\"\") print(\"\")

for i in range(0, 1): print(\"=\", end=\"\") print(\"\")

# only hero characters to be displayed

This is the character.text file it is reading from:
