The WSQ16 is about doing a program that reads a file abaut cars and it’s specifications. The file is read such as the first 14 characters are the model o f the car, the character from 53 to 54, the miles per gallon in city, and so on.<\/p>\n

So it asks you to give the user the\u00a0average gas mileage in city (City MPG),\u00a0average gas mileage on highway (Highway MPG), and the\u00a0average midrange price of the vehicles in the set.<\/p>\n

To accomplish that, I searched for a way to import text files to python and how to read it.<\/p>\n

I learned that you can open the file, the easy way, \u00a0with the command open(“nameofthefile.extension”)…. yeah, that simple.<\/p>\n

Then, the hard part goes on, read the file<\/p>\n

Let’s say you code this<\/p>\n

file = openfile(“filename.ext”)<\/p>\n

The token file has the file in it.<\/p>\n

The file can be read line by line with the command file.readline()
\nThe file can be read entirely and set as a list with the command file.read()<\/p>\n

Through websurfing I learned another way; you can read text lines with for loops; you just have to tell the computer for each line inside this variable do:<\/p>\n

And the result of hte coding is:<\/p>\n

for line in\u00a0file<\/p>\n

After discoveringt that, the coding was so easier.<\/p>\n

It all abaout substrings; I already know what spaces are what thing, so I just substring with line[start:end] <\/em>so its easy then, just have to assing a variable like carmodel or cmpg and print it continiously inside the loop.<\/p>\n

The last problem was that I didn’t need the even lines, so with an if and the condition a counter is even, I skipped every even line.<\/p>\n

Here is the result:<\/p>\n

As always<\/p>\n
