Question

Implement in Python a script that does the following:

1) reads input from a supposed file called firstnames_2.txt.

2) processes the input and writes and saves the output to a file.

NOTE:

Please make sure that

• the names are written in the outfile with one name on each line
• no comma ( , ) after the name in the output

Answer 1

# this function read and write file
def read_and_write(ifilename, ofilename):
    name_list=[]
    # open file to read
    fpi=open(ifilename,"r")

    # read each lines
    for line in fpi:
        # content of line
        name=line
        # write the names along with the name length
        name_list.append(name)
    # close files
    fpi.close()

    # open file to write
    fpo = open(ofilename, "w")
    for i in range(len(name_list)):
        fpo.write(name_list[i]);
        fpo.write(str(len(name_list[i])-1));
        fpo.write("\n");    
    fpo.close()
    print("Output file has been written.")
        
        
        
# main function
def main():
    input_filename = "firstnames_2.txt"
    output_filename = "output.txt"
    # call function to read  and write input
    read_and_write(input_filename, output_filename)
    
    
# driver code
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
