Question

Please write in Python 3.7.4 or Higher.

The Payroll Department keeps a list of employee information for each pay period in a text file. The format of each line of the file is the following: <last name> <hours worked> <hourly wage>

Write a program that inputs a filename from the user and prints to the terminal a report of the wages paid to the employees for the given period.

• The report should be in tabular format with the appropriate header.
• Each line should contain:
  • An employee’s name
  • The hours worked
  • The wages paid for that period.

An example of the program input and output is shown below:

Enter the file name: data.txt

Name            Hours      Total Pay
Lambert            34         357.00
Osborne            22         137.50
Giacometti          5         503.50

print('{:<12s} {:>10s} {:>10s}'.format('Name', 'Hours', 'Total Pay'))
for line in f.readlines():
   lname, hours, wage = line.split()
   hours = int(hours)
   wage = float(wage)
   total = hours * wage
   print('{:<12s} {:>10d} {:>10.2f}'.format(lname, hours, total))

f.close()
