Python

The file unsorted_fruits.txt (which is available in the resources section of this unit in the resources section) contains a list of 26 fruits, each one with a name that begins with a different letter of the alphabet.

Write a program named sort_fruits.py that reads in the fruits from the file unsorted_fruits.txt and writes them out in alphabetical order to a file named sorted_fruits.txt.

You must incorporate the use of a list, for loop and / or while loop.

You can use the following fragment of code the open and read in the data from the unsorted_fruits.txt file. You will need to determine how to use a list structure to sort the items and how to write the data back out into the sorted_fruits.txt file.

infile = open("unsorted_fruits.tex", "r") outfile=open("sorted_fruits.txt","w") fruit=infile.read(50) outfile.write(fruit) print (fruit) infile.close() outfile.close()

In using this code fragment, once you have read a line from the file into the variable text, you must then determine how to load it into a list structure. Also keep in mind that you may need to include the directory path when opening files so this may need to be included in your open statement.
