Question

1D List Practice

Could you write the code to solve the following problem that uses 1D lists?

You have been tasked with writing a Python program that will assist the CAU Registrar’s Office with determining the following:

• the average GPA of the freshman class after their first semester
• the top five GPAs
• the number of students who are eligible for the Dean’s List (i.e., their GPA is 3.25 or higher)

Your program will contain at least three (3) functions - main, getInfo, and compute - that complete the following tasks:

• a function named main that “kicks off” the program with a description of what the program will do. It will then call the getInfo function (see below).
• a function named getInfo reads the file named freshmen.txt and puts the GPAs of the freshman class into a list (named students). This function will then call (with the list as the argument) the compute function (see below).
• a function compute will calculate and display (to the screen):
  • the average GPA of the freshman class after their first semester
  • the top five GPAs
  • the number of students who are eligible for the Dean’s List (i.e., their GPA is 3.25 or higher)

Note: To test/run your program, you will need to generate a file named freshmen.txt that contains 450 GPAs (each on its own line) that have been randomly generated, ranging from 1.0 to 4.0

Answer 1

please give thumbs up, thanks
