[SOLVED] CSCI161 Assignment 9

Objective:

To work with files in python.

Write a program that reads the student information from a tab separated values (tsv) file. The program then creates a text file that records the course grades of the students. Each row of the tsv file contains the Last Name, First Name, Midterm1 score, Midterm2 score and the Final score of a student. Assume that the number of students is at least 1 and at most 20.

The program performs the following tasks:

1. Read the file name of the tsv file from the user.
2. Open the tsv file and read the student information.
3. Compute the average exam score of each student.

4. Assign scale:

a letter grade to each student based on the average exam score in the following

1. A : 90 <= x
2. B : 80 => x < 90
3. C : 70 => x < 80
4. D : 60 => x < 70
5. E : x <60

For example,

If the input program is Studentinfo.tsv and the contents of the file Studentinfo.tsv are:

5. Output the last names, first names, exam scores, and letter grades of the students into a text file named report.txt. Output one student per row and separate the values with a tab character.

Barrett Edan 70 45 59

Bradshaw Reagan 96 97 88

Charlton Caius 73 94 80

Mayo Tyrese 88 61 36

Stern Brenda 90 86 45

Then, Output file report.txt should contain:

Barrett Edan 70 45 59 F

Bradshaw Reagan 96 97 88 A

Charlton Caius 73 94 80 B

Mayo Tyrese 88 61 36 D

Stern Brenda 90 86 45 C

Sample output:
