PYTHON CODING QUESTION

Write a program with two functions: write_file and determine_major. The write_file function will accept a file name and write the following data to that file.

INSY

350

MANA

256

FINA

120

ACCT

184

MARK

86

OPMA

50

The determine_major function will accept a file name and a major and return the major and the number of students in that major.

[Sample input/output:]

What major: INSY

Major INSY has 350 majors

What major: MARK

Major MARK has 86 majors

I've been working at this code almost all night and this is what I came up with:

def write_file(filename): outfile = open('filename', 'w') outfile.write("INSY" + ' ') outfile.write("350" + ' ') outfile.write("MANA" + ' ') outfile.write("256" + ' ') outfile.write("FINA" + ' ') outfile.write("120" + ' ') outfile.write("ACCT" + ' ') outfile.write("184" + ' ') outfile.write("MARK" + ' ') outfile.write("86" + ' ') outfile.write("OPMA" + ' ') outfile.write("50" + ' ')

outfile.close()

def determine_major(filename): #Camille sad to create a loop with an "if" statement inside it msg = '' infile = open('filename', 'r') name = infile.readline().rstrip() while name != '': stud_numb = int(infile.readline().rstrip()) msg += 'Major ' + name + ' has ' + str(stud_numb) + ' majors ' + ' ' name = infile.readline().rstrip() return msg

def main(): filename = input('What major: ') write_file(filename) print(determine_major(filename))

main()

The problem with the code is that it's printing the entire list instead of it's supposed name along with the number attached. Please help, I've been working almost all night on this and I'm not sure what I am missing.
