This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
The text file in the folder above contains a list of Muppets:
The file stores the animal type and colour of each Muppet.
Write a program which does the following to get the results shown below:
| Step | Hint |
|---|---|
| Opens the file | Use with open(file_path,"r") as file_name |
| Reads in the lines | Use read() to get the entire contents, then apply splitlines() to get a list of lines |
| For each line, gets the details | Use split(",") to get a list of the details |
| Prints out the results for each | You could use muppet, animal, colour = muppet_list to unpack the list into distinct variables |
You don't have to use the hints - there are many ways to skin a python!
Your program should produce this output:
The final list of Muppets your program should print.
When everything is working, close down your program!
