$```$Objective: read names from two different files into your program and write each name to a single

new file.

Please make sure you download the namelist$1.$txt & namelist$2.$txt input files from the assignment page in

Canvas and place them in the same folder as your program:

$$ Input files:

$$ nameslist$1.$txt & nameslist$2.$txt $--$ Each file contains a list of $200$ unique names.

$$ Note: before reading each file, you need to read the file name. Your code should work

correctly if input files are renamed!

$$ Output file:

$$ Output all names to an output file

$$ Note: you will need to read the name of the output file.

Write a program that reads the names from the two input files and writes the names to the output file:

a$.$ Ask the user to input the file name and path of the first input file.

i$.$ Use a try$/$except block to open all input before processing.

ii$.$ If the file cannot be opened, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to

reenter the file name and path.

iii. Continue looping until the user has entered in a valid file name and path.

b$.$ Ask the user to input the file name and path of the second input file.

i$.$ Use a try$/$except block to open all input before processing.

ii$.$ If the file cannot be opened, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to

reenter the file name and path.

iii. Continue looping until the user has entered in a valid file name and path.

c$.$ Ask the user to input the file name and path of the output file.

i$.$ Use a try$/$except block to verify that the output file can be created before processing.

ii$.$ If the file cannot be created, display the appropriate error message, and require the user to

reenter the file name and path.

iii. Continue looping until the user has entered in a valid file name and path.

Files and Exceptions

d$.$ Processing:

i$.$ Use a try$/$except block to read from the input files and write to the output file.

ii$.$ Read all the names from one input file at a time. Write the names to the output file.

$$ You must use a while loop to process the first input file $$ nameslist$1.$txt $$ and write to

the output file.

$$ You must use a for loop to process the second input file $$ nameslist$2.$txt $$ and write to

the output file.

$$ Each line in each input file is one name.

iii. Each name must be written on a separate line in the output file.

iv$.$ There must be no blank lines between names in the output files.

e$.$ All input files and the output file must be closed after all names have been processed.
